Toorimichi is part of the Striving Series of Sculptures. It joins other sculptures that include: Eihei, Gambari, Ikkyou, Kourin, Kyouko, Noboru, and  Seidai.

Toorimichi is loosely related to Kourin and Noboru.  Kourin and Noboru are about the process of aspiring and achieving to new heights.  Toorimichii represents the path itself to new heights.  The many twists and turns of the never-straight path to achievement. 

The Striving Series is composed of sculptures that either are inspiring (by trying to motivate you onward) or strong (conveying an attitude of not backing down)
