About the book
"In 2008 she went to live in Miyagi Prefecture; interacting with the local people as she created her works, she found herself captivated by the way that spring breaks through the long, cold, Tohoku winter. Moved by the fact that the changing seasons not only overflow with the energy of life, but simultaneously embrace death, she realized that this was the origin of mankind's constant search for diverse images, leading her to delve further into this. She tried to discover how it related to and was connected with human society and it was while she was involved in this, in march 2011, that the Great East Japan Earthquake struck. She witnessed the horrific sight of large numbers of people being killed in an instant and this experience became etched deeply on her mind.
