117:

Good job! 

I’m not surprised if he committed suicide, if he kept on painting such things.

119:

It was very enjoyable.

But I wonder why I feel so depressed?

111:

He was active during the Employment Ice Age, the so called Lost Generation.

You might have heard of Lost Generation Strikes Back which is the book Hanzawa is based on.

This is the artist Tetsuya Ishida himself

112 (OP):

Tetsuya Ishida 

Born  June 16, 1973 

Died  May 23, 2005 (age 31)

Graduated from Musashino Art University in 1996

He wanted to go to a high school which specialised in art, but his parents were strongly opposed to it and he was forced to go to an ordinary high school instead. 

He was said to have suffered from much emotional pain from this.

Among his friends at university was Isamu Hirabayashi, the film directer, with whom he once worked on some projects together.

While seeking employment, he took a job interview at one design company, but he was rejected, leading him to embark on his career as an artist.

113(OP): 

His subject matters often involve young men fusing with everyday objects such as plastic bags and toilets. 

The young men he depicted all look alike, and they resemble the artist himself, but he denied that it was him in the paintings. 

He died after he was struck by a passing train at a level crossing, in May 2005.

114 (OP):

After his death, in 2006, one of his paintings “Untitled “ was auctioned off as at Christie's Hong Kong "Asian Contemporary Art,” and sold at 780,000 HK dollars ( about 12 million yen) .

In 2009, Purple Japanese Medal of Honor was awarded posthumously to Ishida's parents.

Otsukare sama desu! 

120:

It feels so weird how all these paintings are obviously self-portraits yet he denies it.

116:

This really got me interested in his paintings.

But I would never dream of buying a book of his collected works. 

118:

A vision without dream or hope

37:

Now I feel anxious
