Editor's Note by Satoshi Koganezawa

The 18m-wide masterpiece “shadow in soil” that consists of 20 panels (panel/Japanese paper/pigments/dyestuff/metal powder, 227cm×18m) covers the exhibition wall. There is a sense of "dynamism” this time, in comparison with the “stillness” of the work exhibited in the solo exhibition in the same place last year. The work this time shows us the movement of invisible things such as light and the winds. What Sato tries to draw may perhaps be an extremely simple phenomenon even though it seems grand, and his sincere effort to bring it forth as a work. This work involves our body within the exhibition space, as if we are opening our inner-self toward the outside.
