"Japan" by Masaki Hisatani

"Japan" by Masaki Hisatani

[First Day of Spring] "Red Camellia, White Camellia, and Fall" by Heki Goto.

A camellia tree's flowers fall while still facing upwards, evoking a sense of Bushido. This imagery resonates deeply with me, as reflected in my admiration for Akira Kurosawa's film "Tsubaki Sanjuro."
