BLUE HORSE OF ALCHEMY (CERAMIC PLATE)
This oil painting was rendered on the non-fired white ceramic plate, when I livbed in Chicago, Illinois. It was a part of the series of my Blue Horse Of Alchemy series (oil painting on the credit card size blank plastics and the non-fired white ceramic plate). The series was created for my solo art exhibition at the Brownsboro Gallery in Louisville, Kentucky in 1998. The city is famous for the festive horse racing, Kentucky Derby. The horse is one of the 12 divine animals in the Chinese zodac, which is also used in Japan. The horse is also one of the good-luck-charms in Japan, becasuee the word for the horse "Uma" echoes the word "Umakuiku" (Things goes well) in Japanese.

THREE-EYED GODDESS OF ALCHEMY (CERAMIC PLATE)
A series of oil paintings rendered on the ceramic dinner plates entitled "Three-eyed Goddess of Alchemy" was created by Yamada in Osaka, Japan, just before he moved to the United States in 1983. For Yamada, these are religious objects of spiritual and physical powers to protect his family and his nation, while is is away from there. (Yamada left Japan to the USA in 1983.) The images of these European-looking ladies are based on his memory of the oil paintings, that he saw at the major Western art exhibitions in Osaka, Japan. Yamada purchased the white dining dishes at the local store for these.
