This painting has impressed many people
when I have shown it for the first time.
Everyone had difficult experiences,
as we feel we lost our own way,
and we must find a new one.
In Japan, there are many people
who committed suicide after losing their job or
when something important broke.
The way, your way, need not be a great way,
a busy road. This is not such a bad thing
to be a small country lane.
I beg you not to give up your way,
thinking deeply for yourself,
to find peace of mind.
