夏秋花鳥図

하추화조도(여름과 가을의 꽃과 새)
🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING

"What is the meaning of placing summer and autumn side by side on a single surface?"

📝ONGO's Reflection

This is a Japanese painting in which Shikibu Terutada held the flowers and birds of summer and autumn together. He set the lush summer and the fading autumn side by side on one surface. In this facing I read the reason of time. Blooming and withering are not separate but the front and back of one flow. The summer at its height tilts toward autumn, and after lonely autumn, spring comes again. Whether now is the peak or the descent, it flows on without stopping.

Whether now is your peak or your descent, trust that it does not stop but flows on to what comes next.
