Mr. Sakaguchi has been involved in a wide range of activities, including the "Inocchi no Denwa" initiative to prevent suicide, writing, art, and music.
He began drawing pastel paintings in April 2020, and now pastels are becoming his life's work.

Following his previous work, "Pastel," this book includes over 200 of his latest works from the fall/winter of 2020 to the summer of 2021. In this work, "Water," the format has been changed, the number of pages has been significantly increased, and the image has been completely renewed.
This is a pastel painting collection that captures Mr. Sakaguchi's record of change, with a mix of light and shadow, abstraction and figuration, landscapes and still lifes.

The pastel paintings, which thoroughly observe and depict the nature of Kumamoto, his base of operations, the roads leading to the fields, Lake Ezu, the Ariake Sea, and light and shadow, colors, temperature, and air... They caused a great buzz as soon as they were released on social media, and tickets for his solo exhibitions sold out immediately, attracting attention from celebrities in various fields.
