My name is Gaku, a former professional boxer. After retiring, he pursued a career in painting and is currently creating works on the theme of paleontology and philosophy. I have loved dinosaurs since I was a child, and when I visited the Fukui Dinosaur Museum, I felt the universality of their charm when I saw children with their eyes shining.

Philosophy is the wisdom to face the suffering that comes to life, and it is the axis of my creation. Through painting, I want to deliver works that will inspire someone to open the door to philosophy.
