The coronavirus pandemic. What saved me from the depths of depression was nothing else but the wild flowers blooming in my neighborhood.
The wild flowers bloomed with dignity, oblivious to the turmoil of the world. Their lovely and natural beauty caught my eyes and I finally returned to my creative work.
In this spring, when the coronavirus pandemic subsided somewhat, I went out to look for flowers and grasses, only to find that everything had been mowed down and disappeared.
As the world began to move forward, the ground had been swept clean, and the wildflower gardens had disappeared.
I now realize that the world of colorful flowers that could be seen here and there was a paradise that appeared only during the coronavirus pandemic.
Over the past few years, I am discovering the beauty of flowers and the goodness of Japan, which is the source of my own life.
I sincerely hope to share this feeling with you.
