International Sculpture Symposium in Bitburg was held on June and July 2003 at Bitburg city in Germany.
I participated International Sculpture Symposium in European city after an interval of fifteen years. I felt the time passed when I found myself that is unperturbed any happening, although there is nobody from Japan and nobody speak Japanese there.
I enjoyed daily life and made a sculpture everyday there.I was one of the eldest participant in this symposium
Bitburg is located west north west part of Germany where is called Eifel area, and very close to France and Luxembourg. There are a very famous brewery called Bitburg-Beer. All members stayed a hotel one and half month in the city.
I made a work of the "UNIT" serise used a big red sand stone. At the same time, we had a small exhibition in the city, I showed a small stone of "Volume of Lives" and looked for collaborators for this work, and all collaborators (30 persons of 9 countrys) were fixed in the period of exhibition.
However, I did not only for sculpture's working. I did fly-fishing two times in a beutiful river with good fisherman's fliends.
