I painted with iwa-enogu (mineral pigments) on un-hada hemp paper. I created a story by myself and imagined its illustration. I was walking alone in the forest. It was a dark forest. Tall trees blocked out the light. Here and there, grass, whose name I did not understand, was growing in sporadic patches. Speaking of not knowing, I also did not know where I was headed when I started walking. I don't even know where I came from. When I try to think about it, my head seems to tighten up. I keep walking without knowing where I am going. I keep walking without knowing where I came from. Then, I found a flower. The petals open softly, poof, and seem to glow dully. Aha, that's my heart, I thought fondly. At the same time, I remembered that I was human. --I'm home. Welcome home.
