(English) We Know a Little About You
You, who have a lot of questions,
who persevere in places that do not match your beliefs
who wants to breathe like us
who sometimes look very exhausted!
We know more about you than you think
It's because we are watching closer than anyone else.
How did they conquer our space?
Take a moment and look around. Regardless of where you are reading this, it won't be difficult to find a few green plants nearby. Has a new plant store opened in the neighborhood? Did your favorite restaurant put in a planterior? Are you spending quality time with an old friend looking after plants? What about the explosive feeling of life blooming during spring and summer that you failed to notice before?
Somehow, they have filled in nearly every corner of the spaces we live in. From physical spaces to mental spaces, we depend on the beauty and generosity of plants. How did they expand throughout the lives of man?
(Japanese) 私たちはあなたについて少し知っています
彼らはどう私たちのベランダを占領しただろうか、植物の視線で観察した、滑らかでない私たち暮らしの裏面。
