🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING
"Before things that bloom and fall in an instant, what do I feel?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
This is a bird-and-flower painting by the Japanese painter Koike Chikyoku, in which flowers and birds blend within one frame. The delicate grain of Japanese painting dwells in it, yet the heart it holds rings true in any land. In this painting I see the beauty of fleeting things. The flower will soon fall and the bird will soon fly off, but it is precisely that brevity that makes the moment shine all the brighter. Because nothing is eternal, the present is precious. A brush that painted with devotion what will perish knows how to love what fades.

The more a scene is one that will soon pass, the more you should hold it in your eyes once more, now, with all your heart.
