Echizen Washi

 During my show I could hear many kinds of voices. And I found in Japan there was a unique habit giving things or money for your friends' celebration. So was my case. Before I thought it would be just fine only to say thank you, but this year, late as a Japanese living in Japan,  I started thinking maybe I should give something back to each person. Then I got stuck. I give things without expecting the person would give me back something later. But it seemed things I did were not right. Not a good manner. I was so confused that I got afraid of meeting people. I wished I could havd been a foreigner who simply loves living in Japan. ......

anyway my awful painting saved me. I started feeling love around me, especially in the beauty of our nature. Very strange feelings but I think I should remember this that painting can help me out of my difficulties. 

Well, I broke a brush holding it to have my paintings start. . I felt sorry for god. He must have been angry that I didn't treat it well.
