I am drawn to camellias with variegated petals, which I grow in my garden.
Each pattern is different, never repeated, and I find beauty in these quiet variations.
In them, I sense a reflection of human presence—each of us uniquely marked, quietly distinct.

A gentle rain has brought fresh moisture to the hydrangeas.
I love watching the rain
—it feels as if it’s cleansing the air.
I also love listening to the sound
—it always brings me peace.

I also adore this gunjō (azurite) blue, which is one of the representative colors in Nihonga painting.
