"Rainbow Cezanne", is another of the Nomura editions. In the pamphlet I wrote as follow concerning this work: "There was a period in my youth when I, too, was 'infected by Cezanne'. Some people may not believe me, but everything that came within my vision in Japan, the scenery, people and still life, appeared to me to be exactly the same as those of Cezanne's France. Recollections of the waving trees of the forest, the apple looking as if it were made of porcelain, and the nude with a blue shadow - these are at once the heart pains of my youth. To that memory, I dedicate this piece."
