This work was part of a series that was inspired by the similarity between Japanese characters and Christian symbolism. While Kami in Japanese can mean "paper" or "a god. It seems interesting to make this correlation between symbolism and god.
The work was exhibited at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum as part of a UNESCO Friendship exhibition in 1990. I was living and painting in Japan at the time, and this 3-piece artwork was one of the important works and has been held in the "White Collection—Japan 1988-1992" and is now available for purchase. These works are like new as most of their lives they have been in art storage.
The work is in three panels: Kami 1, Kami 2, and Kami 3.
