In February 1994, a sculptor from the Nanai tribe stayed at my house and offered to make a scalputor of my right hand as a memorial and took a handprint of my hand. Although it is a scalpture from the first joint to the part where it was cut, it is placed with the palm side up. I said, “If I had one more hand, I would be able to do more work,” and he gave it to me as a gift.” Shigeru Kayano
