Traveling between being a mother and an artist.
----
I screamed inside my head: This was not the deal.
“You said there would be someone to watch Mini-Tumi during the events!”
I had made it clear from the beginning that if I traveled, my two-year-old would travel with me.

From Yaotsu Town Hall to the Chiune Sugihara Memorial Hall.
Port of Humanity, Tsuruga Museum.
And then to Fukuyama (Hiroshima).
🔥Still on the way🔥
Savoring the joy of being able to laugh and say "this is tough" together.

Excited to share that Lithuanian author Agnė Žagrakalytė is visiting Japan!

Tomorrow, we’ll pay a courtesy visit to Yaotsu Town, Gifu Prefecture, his birthplace. #ArtJourney #MotherAndArtist

A quiet beginning of a new journey.
This tour is for “Noble Rogues – 華麗なるスパイたち –”,
a story I once translated — now brought to life through reading.
Traveling with my 2-year-old, chasing words instead of melodies.

Joined the opening of the European photo exhibition seeeu at Europe House (EU Delegation to Japan).
Reconnected with old friends and met Belarusian artist Sasha Velichko, whose words about freedom and peace truly resonated.
Peace isn’t something that just exists—it’s something we must keep creating.

Last weekend, Mini-Tumi surprised everyone — including me — by joining the performance with Katsutoshi Shirasuna.
Hand in hand, we danced, mother and daughter.
Reality may defy our plans, but it always gives us meaning.

What amazed me was how naturally children played. Even the tiniest babies found joy in striking stones. It reminded me that no matter how small, humans carry an instinct to create.

Before this haircut, my hair was long. The first day I had my hair cut by my late stylist, Hiromi, I was inwardly nervous when the clippers came out. I had never thought that clippers would make an appearance in my life! But as a result, I've had that kariage haircut for 10 years😎❤️

I had my hair cut by stylist Hiromi who passed away this year, for 10 years. He took pictures of me with my freshly cut hair each time.
Looking back, I wore a variety of outfits, and I feel the nostalgia of the past 10 years by looking my past outfits. 10 years.

My hair stylist passed away. We created together for 10 years.
Little by little, I finally, finally scanned and saved the 200-plus photos.
I feel like I have just a little bit of closure.
Over the next few days, I will be uploading some of the photos.
It's my own way of mourning.

I am full of joy when I connect with someone through singing or dancing in a performance, when I am creating a piece, and when I am raising Mini-Tumi .Different kinds of happiness.
And I think I need all of them.I can't choose one, can I?

I wanted to refresh my mind and went to Shizuoka suddenly.
When the mind is tired, it becomes stagnant and the work becomes worse.I'm finally working on creating new works as much as I want. Oh this is a happiness...

A Journey North, to Mourn the Departed.
Since the passing of my closest friend from university last autumn, various people have gone to heaven at the end of the year and the beginning of the year.
