Now, all living beings, try to imagine this.
This is a vast open area in the middle of a dense forest of magnificent trees.
We see the place from the sky.
Hey, it looks like there are a lot of animals gathered over there.
Now, let's go and see the center together from the sky.
Zoom in!
This is where imagination is important.
Do you see something? Or do you not see something?
I can see it: in the center of the greenery, sitting on a yellow pedestal, a young man named Siddhartha, in front of a Bodhi tree.
Siddhartha is now talking to the birds and animals.
There is a famous story about Buddha preaching to animals such as deer.
This is the scene where Siddhartha awakens as a young man and becomes the Buddha.
This rug is inspired by that moment (big lie).
Buddha believes that everything in this world, including humans, animals, grass, flowers, and insects, is connected.
Nothing should be missing. All life is equally wonderful. I feel like this theme is present in all of Osamu Tezuka's works.
If you look closely at this rug, you will see that it is dotted with animals and flowers.
At this point, it seemed to me like I was listening to the Buddha sitting on a pedestal.
If you can't imagine it, I'll leave it there.
Let's take another look at this rug.
I thought it was a work by Tezuka Sensei, but then Phoenix appeared.
The Firebird says:
"Humans live longer than insects, dogs, or cats. If we can find joy in living during that time, isn't that happiness?"
I take naps on the rug. I read books or watch movies on the rug. There's even a staff member named K who dances on the rug. There's even a staff member who swims on the fluffy rug (that's me). The rug is always a place where I can relax.
There have been more than one or two moments when I have felt happy sitting on a handmade rug.
That is joy and happiness, isn't it?
Oh, wait, we're finding joy after all.
This rug was indeed a precious rug that carried on the will of Tezuka Sensei (big lie).
There are also the four gods of direction.
Let's go back to the topic of lag.
There were divine and noble animals on all four sides.
Is it something like Azure Dragon in the east, White Tiger in the west, Vermilion Bird in the south, and Black Tortoise in the north?
It may seem like you're showing off some candy, but it will surely protect your home on all four sides.
It's amazing how even the glossiness looks divine.
If you meditate on the rug, you may one day be connected to Buddha and hear many wonderful stories.
While admiring the rug, I ended up finding Buddha.
How far will I go like this...?
But Buddha spoke to me softly.
"Follow your heart."
So, I will continue to follow my heart and speak freely as I look at rugs.
Thank you, Buddha. (Light)
