Iki-no-kudaBody and Breath)(Trial)

This drawing represents my recollection of a path that I once walked in the past and that I now trace with the tips of my fingers.
The initial idea was to visualize the fact that I was actually there.
The temperature of the air, the smell of the wind, and the feelings I had along the way all these things I channeled into one single line.
The act of walking back and forth on a vast expanse of land is just like breathing.
I feel so happy, I could jump for joy. Thank you so much!
For now, I’m going to take a deep breath, and then I will go on with my work.
