Growing up in the Great Nature of Iwate Japan.


In the universe, on Earth,

The reborn world will still be a planet of beautiful colors.


Human beings are also part of nature.
With respect for nature—flowers, animals, water, air—
And with gratitude toward Earth, the universe,
and prayers for peace,
I paint, adding words to light and wind
