Yesterday we went cycling along the Kamogawa River. The destination is a botanical garden. I’ve been there a few times already, but this time the roses were very beautiful and smelled nice.
I headed south along the Kamogawa River again and returned to the gallery.
People from various countries were relaxing on the riverbank.
People who read, people who play the guitar, people who play sports, people who walk their dogs…
It was a picture-perfect scene of peace.
We have people from various countries visiting our gallery.
We are grateful for your appreciation of Japanese arts, crafts, and various other items.
Through various works of art, various exchanges are born. I hope that by accumulating these efforts, people around the world will be able to achieve a richer state of mind. I hope there will be no more fighting. The year is 2024. This anachronism should be stopped immediately. It makes no sense.

I’m thinking of flower materials that would go well with this wonderful vase. I’m planning to go to the flower shop tomorrow morning, but I hope they have some good flowers. I would like to arrange flowers from thick branches, but it is difficult to do so at this time of year…
