Title

「To link into the future」

Thoughts put into the work

Everyone wishes for peace, yet war has been going on somewhere in the world ever since we were born.

As people who live as an extension of the painful experiences of our predecessors, we must continue to hope that the world will surely be at peace and that smiling flowers will bloom.

Lotus flower and receptacle

• ★Lotus
  • Flower language: uneventful
  • The white lotus buds(1), which were given birth to this world with many possibilities, are placed in the upper, and the large golden lotus(2) is the golden age of life, and 3 to 4 is mean the rise and fall of the remaining life, in other words deformed triangular shape (flow 1 to 4) is mean the life.
  • The slightly blue lotus on the reverse side represents the things in life that do not go well, the things that make us ponder, and the things that make us sad.
  • The purple lotus(surroundings of 3) represents the joys, sorrows, and sorrows in life, which are acquired over the course of time, and the lotus, with its petals scattered behind the leaves, finally becoming a saucer in the upper right corner(4), represents the strength and firmness of holding the next seed firmly, but with the beauty of its beautifully twisted stem, it also represents life returning to the heavens.

About the motif

• ★golden ring
  • This golden ring is imaged reincarnation, and It was also placed with double meaning this time as a background to signify the lotus.
• ★base color
  • We used two colors from the five-color curtains(goshikimaku) found in temples and other places.
    • Green (or blue) is said to be the color of wisdom, like a mirror, reflecting all things in this world without discrimination.
    • Purple (or black) is said to be the color of patience and forbearance, which withstands all insults, persecution, and temptation and does not become angry.
