Even in childhood I was interested in running water, in the recycling process of water. I remember Mark Tobey talking to me about the life cycle of the universe and the fact that water moves about endlessly in its various forms, vapor, ice drops forming in the clouds to be released into the rivers. This recycling always fascinated me."@en . . . . . . "right"@en . . . . . . "1997-12-18"^^ . "Seattle"@en . . . . . . . . . . . "George Tsutakawa"@en . "1910-02-22"^^ . . . . . . . .

"For me, 1960 or thereabouts was a time to take another look at the philosophy and art of the Orient\u2014particularly Japanese art\u2014that I had become familiar with in my youth. Through my travels and my studies of traditional Japanese arts I was able to reaffirm my conviction in the Oriental view of nature which sees man as one part of nature, a part that must live in harmony with the rest of nature. From 1960 on, I attempted to express this relationship between man and nature in my works. My sumi-e drawings are a direct response to nature; my fountain sculptures are an attempt to unify water\u2014the life force of the universe that flows in an elusive cyclical course throughout eternity\u2014with an immutable metal sculpture."@en .
