The painting shows the scene when Oyasama hid herself, listening to the sound of prayer service, and a little later revealed via a special priest that she just hid herself and her blessing would still remain as before. Thus, she assured people the salvation would continue forever.

After petals fall
The Sakura had the time of the year, and the season moves on. Now the petals are mostly gone and instead, new fresh green leaves are sprouting everywhere. This painting shows what is happening in the nature now. Appreciating the Sakura petals, I painted each one with care.今年はお天気が良く、桜の花は思う存分に季節を楽しんだことでしょう。その季節は終わりに近づき新しい季節へと変わっていきます。代わって新鮮な若葉が勢いよく葉をひろげています。そんな季節感を絵にしてみました。花びらのいのちを愛おしみながら、一弁づつ描きました。

Dancing in sakura flowers
Every year when the sakura flowers bloom, I am overwhelmed with the bursting of the nature's energy. Spring time certainly brings out that kind of power, not only in the sakara flowers, but also in us humans. I feel the strong urge to start again, to create something new. 毎年、桜の季節になると、いつも自然の力強いエネルギーに圧倒されます。春はそういう力を発散し、桜の花だけでなく人々も何か生み出してみたい、という欲求に駆られます。私もそうで、このような絵を描きました。
