I got an inspiration to paint this subject when I saw a Bishamonten (Buddhist deity) statue at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The statue was exhibited with other Buddhist statues in a very dimly lit room. The lighting resulted in a very dramatic shadow, which almost looked like another statue behind the Bishamonten. I was amazed by the contrast between the statue and the shadow. The image left a strong impression, which urged me to produce this painting. Hopefully it would leave the same impression with you.

ボストン美術館で毘沙門天の像を見て、この題材を描こうとひらめきました。毘沙門天像は薄暗い部屋に他の仏像と共に展示されていました。そのライティングの効果で、あたかも毘沙門天の後ろにまた別の像がいるかのような劇的な影が映っていました。毘沙門天とその影のコントラストに驚嘆し、強い印象が残り、この絵を描かずにはいられませんでした。あなたにもこの絵が同じような印象を残しますように。
