About the artwork

Strolling through the rain, one might believe the landscape remains unchanged, yet an unseen world always unfolds amidst the familiar. Is it challenging for us to become aware of it? Not at all. The small creatures around us serve as guides, whispering the secrets of this hidden realm. Each droplet of rain is a medium, carrying the reflections of uncharted territories that lay just beyond our sight. These tiny denizens, especially the frogs, are revered in Japanese culture, not only for their role in this vibrant ecosystem but also as harbingers of good fortune. In many homes, frog ornaments are cherished, placed lovingly as symbols of hope, inviting the safe return of family members and the promise of prosperity.

The amphibian's presence in art, such as this piece, transcends mere aesthetic value, weaving a tapestry of tradition, nature, and spirituality. As they leap from lily pad to the rain-soaked earth, they remind us of the constant cycle of life and the subtle magic that pervades our daily existence. Let this artwork be a colorful ode to the beauty that thrives in the rain, a vibrant celebration of life’s serendipities, and a silent prayer for the reunion with our loved ones. It's a visual poem, capturing the essence of a moment both ordinary and profound, inviting the viewer to pause and appreciate the enchanting dance of nature and culture intertwined.
