seasons of life
May 2019
Eruika Sumi ink and vermillion seal paste on Japanese Misuzu paper, 1400mmx360mm, displayed on a hanging scroll
This piece consists of five idiomatic expressions which encapsulate life in seasons. Translations and meanings:
春華秋實: the flower blooms in the spring and the fruit bears in the fall (if you study, you will see results)
學海無涯: an endless sea of learning (to pursue academia, you will always need diligence)
龍馬精神: the vigorous spirit of the dragon and the horse (a phrase used to describe the eldery full of life and energy)
温故知新: one should derive new understanding while learning from the past
花好月圓: a beautiful flower and a round moon (a peaceful and friendly relationship)
I was awarded my Associate Masters Degree with this piece in June 2019.

Written in the Gyosho style, this piece presents the Chinese idiom 有志者事竟成 which directly translates to where there’s a will, there’s a way. This phrase means that if you work with strong determination, you will always succeed.
