Hey man, fellow artist here.
Firstly, yay crazy artist! I don't mean to make light, but I want to encourage you to embrace what seems to be a natural inclination. I'm not sure whether you are into art history, but have you thought of psychic automatism (automatic drawing)? Your post is also a bit like 'automatic writing'. I fucking love that shit! Its not high and mighty dude, it's bloody generous, and that's what artists do.

Also, for an artist, can I recommend a book called The Zen of Seeing. Maybe at kinokunya? If you're short of $ PM me and Ill send you a copy. It was very useful for me in getting the rushing thoughts and disappointments and whirling spiraling guilt and wildness to slow. down. and. breathe.

And you're in Japan! Lucky Fukr ;)
Hang in there mate

YES. I had a great teacher recommend this book many, many years ago:
Zen of Seeing: Seeing/Drawing as Meditation

I re-read it every so often; it really is a wonderful book on how to SEE.
