"A beautiful
'flower' does exist, but the beauty of a 'flower' does not exist".
Hideo
Kobayashi
I think
that seeing is choosing or discovering. When we see something, we realize
the ezistence of figure, air and feeling. Since old times people have seen
flowers and expressed their feeling with th skilfull usage of words. They
do not intend to express special meanings of words, ideas and ideologies,
but they try to refine words that they could impress the images of words.
I
suppose, that the skill of drawing, carving and printing is the same as
that the use of words. Those skills will be mature. The process of the
aging does not always mean the progress of the world. History is not merely
memorizing historic events but rather recalling them. I wish my body and
soul could be enriched.
