Comments from the Artist:
"Perhaps because I loved animation since I was a child, when I draw a picture, I always think about how each element will move in the next instant. Even when I am drawing a still image, I am constantly imagining the next scene. I hope to create the effect of distilling multiple frames of a manga in a single picture. It could be that this gives a certain floating sensation to my work.
There is a story behind the "beam" that is in the title of this piece... I experienced air raids as a young child. At night, I saw searchlights of the Japanese military illuminating American B-29 bombers. The multiple streaks of light cutting through the night sky fascinated me, although the grown-ups around me were stricken with fear. Even after I became an adult, I often remembered those beams of light stretching out into the darkness. I think that is the origin of the beams in my work."
