Gallery Commentary
Iwate Prefecture is known as the "home of folktales," where old legends of folk beliefs and traditions remain. Having spent her childhood in Iwate Prefecture, Kohara heard many legends from his grandparents.
Based on the mysterious, fascinating, and sometimes sad history of folklore, Kohara has created a "dream-like" world in her works that are a mixture of her own memories and experiences.
It is interesting to unravel the history and stories of her hometown and the wishes of Kohara in the fantastic paintings with vivid colors.
