These paintings are interesting, but I’m not sure how they connect with the titles. Can you explain them, or any insights you get personally from them?Laura Johnson
Every single painting is hauntingly beautiful! I came across Makoto’s name in the prayer devotional, ‘Our Daily Bread (16 August 2022) and googled his name.
God bless you and your work Makoto as you use your God-given gift to point people to Christ, the One who gave us His all.

Laura, I would encourage you to read more on this work from Fujimura here: http://fourholygospels.makotofujimura.com/. This will probably help more than my own words.
