Again I was told to draw a picture
on the table, too.
He added
‘You can think by yourself and do it as you like it, follow your aesthetics!’
Though I could do it freely
I don’t want to damage the reputation of their meals…
He said he would check it later
for just in case
I am definitely guaranteed
the freedom to draw carefree
I can think
and follow my own sense
that is why
it’s fun
and at the same time everything
is ‘now or never’
without rehearsal
So it is fun but scary
fun but absolutely serious
interesting but everything is tested
I am testing myself
So I can completely view myself – all these
are exactly what I can say about my work
I sure have come to a real wonderful place
It’s exactly like a Zen temple
and the owner of the inn a veteran guide in a mountain temple
For the guests who visit here
it’s a place to rest
For me
it’s a place of self-improvement
to strengthen my sensibility: a fun, interesting, warm, thankful place
I naturally become grateful and feel like to stay forever
