Under every person's feet, one will find earth.
When looking with one's eyes, it is possible to feel the warmth buried deep in the ground, even when it is not visible on the surface—I draw everything starting with the ground. The various colors of ever-changing four seasons, even when not visible on the outside, overlap and intertwine upon the earth's surface,
gradually creating small glimpses of joy from which people can sense, can feel, something very important. This is what I choose to believe.
