“Take a small flower in your hand and observe it. From its lovely form, color, and aroma, we feel the vitality and the existence of the great universe. When I am sketching plants, I am freed from daily pressure, and the satisfaction that I accumulate gives me enough energy to face another day”.

-Yoshitsugu Koyanagi
