[秋

Nothing meets the eye to demonstrate beyond a doubt that autumn has come – yet suddenly I am surprised to the sound of wind

The autumn season is the best time to develop your sensitivity to the world around you, since the time of year itself encourages you to think about the meaning of life.

just remember that Autumn is not always sadness, melancholy and regret about the past summer, but also the brightest sketches of nature

The otsuki Plain in Kai Province

This print shows some of the so-called "seven herbs of autumn": we were able to find miscanthus (aka susuki or obana),
patrinia (ominaeshi),
clove (nadeshiko)
and bluebell (kikyo).

What beautiful autumn flowers, but they bloom where there is no trace of a person.

During these 3 months we will look deep into universe and japanese literature to reinvent ourselves. 
We will listen to the sound of the grass, taste the silence, enjoy the Moon and find spring in the middle of autumn in bamboo.
