"LIFE is A VOYAGE"
Life is a voyage.

THE PATH YOU WALK BECOMES A MAP.
The path you took becomes your map

 

In the past few years, I've had many turning points.
I'm sure everyone else has had many milestones and turning points too.

At that time, I suddenly thought, "It's like a voyage. I don't know where I'm going to drift to, but it feels like a big journey."

 

“Life is a voyage.”
That's when this phrase came to mind.

Compared to two years ago, I can finally travel the world.
The world is so vast; there's only the unknown world yet to be seen.

Lately, I've been watching many documentaries.

Witnessing unknown peoples, cultures, worlds, conflicts, and problems, I realize that though "Earth" is one and we are all the same humans, I learn about entirely different "worlds."

For me, that becomes a significant "point."

This is because I had experienced those points connecting into lines, eventually forming a complete shape.

"The path you walked becomes a map."

I thought of this at that time.

I want to mark many places with dots, eventually forming a surface (shape), and through this, convey my experiences, emotions, wisdom, and feelings.

For everyone, the path they've walked becomes their own map, and by facing and overcoming various difficulties, they achieve self-growth.
The message is that it's important to forge your own path and embark on your own unique voyage.

For this theme, I made "the witch navigator who wields words" the protagonist.

I created the clothing imagining a witch who manipulates words to overcome various situations, steering her ship with her own will and continuing her voyage.

Indeed, words can sometimes be like magic, seeping into one's body, circulating, and eventually dissolving into the brain, becoming vitality, encouragement, and sometimes even comfort.

Words can also be as sharp and hurtful as steel, or even violent at times.
They are, so to speak, like "magic."

Everyone possesses that "magic," and it depends on how it's used.

Furthermore, while witches were regarded as very evil figures in medieval Europe, I imbued the word "witch" with positive connotations, signifying "independence," "challenge," "self-realization," and "spiritual improvement."

With such thoughts, I created various "witches."

Poems. Stories.

I hope you enjoy imagining while looking at and reading them.

"Enjoy your own personal Voyage".

In recent years, there have been many turning points for me.
I'm sure everyone else has had many milestones and crossroads as well.

At that time, I suddenly thought, "It's like a voyage. I don't know where I'm going to drift off to, but it's like a big journey.

Life is a voyage."
That's when this word came to mind.

Compared to two years ago, I finally got to visit the world.
The world is too big, and there is only the world I have yet to see.

Recently, I have been watching documentaries.

I see people, cultures, worlds, conflicts, and problems that I never knew existed, and I learn about a completely different "world," even though we are all the same people with one "Earth.

 For me, that was a big "dot".

I had experienced that the dots became lines, and eventually they were all connected and took shape.

The path you take becomes a map.

I thought of this at the time.

I would like to share my experiences, my impressions, my wisdom, and my thoughts by dotting many places and eventually forming them into a surface (shape).

Every person's path becomes their own map, and they grow by facing and overcoming various difficulties.
The message of this project is that it is important to carve out one's own path and navigate in one's own unique way.

For this theme, we chose a "witch navigator who manipulates words" as the main character.

The clothes were created with the image of a witch who manipulates words to transcend various aspects of her life and continues to navigate her ship according to her own will.

Words are like magic, sinking into our bodies, circulating, and eventually melting into our brains, giving us vitality, encouragement, and sometimes comfort.

Words can sometimes be as sharp and hurtful as steel, or even violent.
They are like "magic," so to speak.

Everyone has that "magic" and it depends on how they use it.

Witches were considered very bad in medieval Europe, but I took the word "witch" and gave it a positive connotation, meaning "independence," "challenge," "self-realization," and "spiritual improvement.

With this in mind, I created a variety of "witches.

Poems. Stories.

I hope that you will enjoy imagining while looking at and reading them.

 

"Enjoy your own personal Voyage".

ーLIFE IS A VOYAGEー

When you break open the door of departure,
The door of your mind's eye will open, and birds will come to praise you.

When you embrace all of nature into your body,
Your blood will burn red, and you will become one with the sun.

When the sun sets, quietly draw abundant water into your heart,
And take up your pen.
Two dragons deceive and placate each other.
From head to fingertips, dragons race,
When they draw and form, it becomes blood and flesh.

Let the ship be yourself,
An immovable core strengthens the mast,
Flexible thinking sets supple sails.

Listen to the whispering songs of angels, one named good and one named evil, flowing into you like water.
Angels will polish your soul with song.

When high waves snatch your ship and black winds threaten to swallow it,
Awaken the small inhabitants living in your brain.
Those small inhabitants, named wisdom, will guide you to solve your difficulties.

There is no path where there is no road; there are no predecessors.
A path where you cannot see an inch ahead may sometimes instill fear.
But the path you have walked becomes your map.
When you were in a small town or on land, you might have thought that what you saw through your eyes was everything.
Once you voyage, you can learn that what is visible is not everything.

Koby, with sharp claws, may seem threatening at first glance, but inside they are brave and become comrades who will voyage with you.
However, if you try to deceive others and steal treasure, Koby will become your mirror, seeing threats as threats and attacking.

When you lose yourself in the vast, unseen sea,
Light a lamp on each path you've taken and connect them with a line,
And fill your inner lake to the brim.

At the edge of that lake, ask the never-failing fountain that produces water.
The fountain constantly turns dotted paths into lines, and then into circles.

A circle remains a circle no matter which way it leans, and your friend Hoho
Will guide you, lost as you are, to a new point.

Every voyage should possess intuition, challenge, and mind.
When your heart is anxious or fearful, steer by instinct.
Will and strength illuminate the way.

On days when the sky's gates close and clouds gather,
Cast anchor and open the wine.
Until the gates open, rattle your bones, dance, and celebrate.

When you reach Sleepy Forest,
You will be able to grasp the Sword of Thorns.

The words you utter become your sword and your treasure.
It can be a round, gentle, ribbon-like sword, or a sharp, pointed one.
