SEIMEI(LIFE)

In 2022, I experienced the vitality of Jomon cedar in Yakushima.

Tree rings carved over thousands of years.

A sense of presence in stillness.

It exists by overcoming various environments and situations.

Such Jomon cedar

I compared it to life.

People also encounter various environments and situations every day,

We live each day with a mix of emotions, including joy, anger, sadness, and happiness.

I expressed that kind of life with one stroke

You are amazing just by being there.nd wonderful. With that in mind, I expressed "a moment at that moment, like a splash of water."
