The horrible flood happened last  month, which had happened also in 2004. All people in the village didn't imagine this would happen again in a few years...

Then I just thought of a guardian angel inshriened upper this river. I've lived here almost twelve years, and, the first three years I often went to visit him and clean where he stays, giving a prayer for peace and telling him my gratefulness of my paper life.

But later, because I stopped working every day at the paper studio to start searching for my own style in living, the guardian angel was not so important for me that I didn't force myself to visit him. The flood which happened twice reminded me of going to see him..... I couldn't go by car, so I walked up along the river.
