Features: In Tatsuo Miyazaki's heart, the landscapes of Japan are both diverse and seemingly unified, with endless variations in appearance and ever-changing colors. To ordinary people, the color of the sea is the same everywhere in the world, but in Tatsuo Miyazaki's eyes, the sea in Europe is vastly different from that in Japan. He believed that the Japanese sea is not deep blue but rather a blend of azure and greenish hues. After compiling this collection of poems, illustrations, and essays titled "The World of Tatsuo Miyazaki," I deeply realized that not only in his paintings and art essays but also in his travel writings—whether about Germany, Austria, or Northern Europe, or about Japan and China—Tatsuo Miyazaki's cultural sensibility has become an inherent part of his subconscious, an awakened awareness. It is precisely this profound understanding and affection for traditional culture that has taken root in Tatsuo Miyazaki's heart, becoming the pillar of beauty in his literature and the foundation of beauty in his paintings.
