明日，5月23日に首里カフェルーツで会いましょう❤️
作家在廊日なので、自然の恵みに溢れているカフェで絵一緒に楽しい時間を過ごしませんか😙

私たちを巡る自然は様々な恵みに溢れている。その恵みは、人によって異なる意味を持つでしょう。森の中の平和や、海岸の風が届ける自由の感情、花々の甘い香り、果掛園で取った果物の豊かな味。私にとっての恵みは、自然との会話です。絵を描きながら眺める木々、花と果物たちが語ってくれる物語、海岸をスケッチするときに出会う風からの挨拶。私は自然の中で出会ったたくさんの友達を首里カフェルーツに足を運ぶ皆さんに紹介したい！沖縄の果物のスムージーを飲みながら、沖縄の自然にインスパイアされた絵画展に癒されよう、自然の恵みに溢れているカフェへどうぞお越しください。
The nature around us is full of blessings. These blessings cou mean something different for each one of us. The feeling of peace in the forest, or freedom on a windy beach, the sweet scent of the flowers, or the rich taste of a fruit you just picked an orchard. For me, these blessings are conversations. Stories hear from all the flowers, fruits and trees I sit down to paint, stories the Wind brings, as she blows into my face while I am sketching the ocean. I am blessed with a lot of friends I made i nature, and I would like to invite you to meet them at this exhibition. Come to Shuri Cafe Roots, enjoy a cup of smoothie made from local fruits, immerse into the colorful world of my illustrations. You will be surrounded by the blessings of nature, you can taste them in your drink, and you can enjoy them looki right at you, from the walls.

パッションフルーツの見学よスケッチ作りは@teruteru.kaz.farmで行いました
照屋さん素敵なファームを見学させていただきありがとうございました❤️

the baby of the passion fruit is ready to be harvested! She is not green anymore! She is purple like the passion flower, but she does have some green and white freckles left!
She will wear the purple dress her mother passed down to her, but she refuses to lose her green color! she likes the green leaves, she wants resemble to them!
But after she grows big and falls down, Her foster mother, Teruya san will hang her up with her sisters, and leave her until she becomes purple! Ready to be shipped!
パッションフラワーの赤ちゃんがやっと大きくなって、収穫が近づいてきた。もう緑じゃないよね！パッションの花の紫色を受け継いだけど、よくみたら緑と白のそばかすを持ってる！可愛い！パッションフルーツは緑の葉っぱが好きで、その緑から離れたくない！しかし、大きくなったら、蔓から離れて、落ちてしまう。そしたらファーマーの照屋さんが、パッションフルーツを並べかけて、完全に紫になるまでに1日干しとく：D面白い：D

Let’s cut her open!
The passion fruit has an energetic orange spirit, freshly sour but joyfully sweet and the same time! She wants all the world to taste her orange spirit!
But deep inside her heart, she keeps her purple roots!
You won’t find any purple in your passion fruit juice or ice cream…
But if you cut her open and eat her straight, you can taste her heart, because she made it soft so YOU CAN EAT EVERY PART OF IT! even her seeds!
She is a giving spirit just like her mother!
She is giving all of her to you!
And when she loses all her sweet juice, she shows you about her roots, her triangle shaped cave, her 3 lines of seeds (just like the flower had a “three-pronged antenna”)!… She wants you to dive into a passion fruit garden next year as well, and meet her mother! The most beautiful flower of the fruit world!
でわ熟した実をカットして、中を探求してみよう！
パッションフルーツは活発な心を持ち、フレッシュな酸っぱい味とと共に喜びを与える甘さも感じる！全世界にその活発なオレンジ心を味見させたい！
パッションは自分の紫なルーツを忘れないよ！
パッションのアイスやジュースに紫は見つからないけど、実をカットしてそのまま食べたら、彼女の紫な心が見つかるよ！そして種まで全部食べ切れるよ！パッションフルーツは自分の心を柔らかくしてくれているから、みんなさんが全部食べれるように！なんと優しい果物だね！彼女は寛大な精神を持っている！自分の心を一所懸命皆産に与えたい！
全部食べ切れたら、皮の中をよくみて！３角の形しますね！これはお母さんからの受け継ぎ！花も3本のアンテナを持ってたね！実もお母さんをずっと思い出す！そしてあなたも思い出したい！来年またパッションフルーツ園へ世界の一番美しい花と愛に行くように！

Pink stripes of the White azalea aka the one that

Pink stripes of the White azalea
aka the one that teaches us to learn to love our weirdest parts

Have you noticed that sometimes you can find white azaleas that have pink stripes in them? Usually they grow right next to their pink sisters.
First I thought the white one is jealous of her pink sisters and wants some pink for herself. But after having a chat with her, I realized that she is not happy with her pink stripes! She didn’t ask for them! She wants to be pure white, and she wants to be part of the green! That is why the white azalea’s “freckes” are vivid green color^^

I hope the white azalea learns to love her pink stripes!

We all have parts we don’t love about ourselves…
Lately my body started to change in a way I am not comfortable with… but my lesson, my task is to embrace this change and find the beauty in it!

When others look at me they might see “beauty” where I see “ugliness”.
after all, i find the pink stripes so beautiful and unique! And it is thanks to those stripes that I decided to paint her! And I got to know about her heart’s true desire.

After all, the pink stripes all come from nature! IF the changes we go through come from nature, we have to trust that this is the way it has to be!
Maybe I will have some stripes soon as well… but if they are part of nature, I will grow and learn to love them!

皆さん、気づいたでしょうか？たまに、白いツツジの花びらにピンクの線が「描いてある」。特に、ピンクの花の灌木のすぐ横に咲く花の場合。
「ピンクの姉妹が羨ましくて、ピンクの色を自分に塗ったのでしょう」と私は勝手に思ったんですが、彼女と会話したら、彼女の本心がわかった！
「私はピンクの線なんて要らない！純粋の白いままでいたかったわ」
白いツツジはピンクの線が欲しくなく、ピンクの姉妹から移ってしまったようです。
「私はただ、周りの緑の一部になりたかったです。」ツツジが言った。だから彼女のそばかすは可愛い緑色だろう！よく見て！

いつかツツジちゃんは自分のピンク

日本語のキャプションはコメントにて
This may be the most strange flower you can come across! You might notice her purple and white curls from the distance.
Come closer, so you notice Her little fruit she grows inside

Flowers of the fruits are blooming, in order to grow their precious fruit, to create a new life.
The passion flower has her thin white curls, but she grows their curls one by one carefully, inorder to create space around herself. Her white curls are dancing around in the space, theygive space to the new mother, so she can be comfortable to move around. But they are also
tough! They show a thousand ways for her little fruit to choose.
Lots of fruit flowers are white. But why is the passion purple?
She chose the purple color for her flower, so her little fruit can inherit this color later!
It is important to paint herself in bright colors, colors that she want to pass to her fruit!
Now that fruit is bright green…but soon it becomes purple!

The name of the passion fruit cames from the “Passion” of Jesus Christ. This flower makes me think of him. Makes me be Grateful of the fruit of life I got to live, because of his sacrifice and love. And it makes me feel the passion of every mother, who creates her fruit, and sacrifices her petals and shape and colors,just to create a fruit.
it makes me understand how natural all of this is!
it makes me feel stronger, to be able to start the journey to create my own fruit, make my own sacrifices.

We still can be colorful and original, we don’t have to be simple white flowers. We just have to feel the green around us, have to feel our surroundings, as we carefully create
our curls, one by one, let them dance, let them take up the space around us, let them fill our world!
Dance with our curls, through this important time of our life, and make sure to paint ourselves in bright colors, colors that we want to pass to our fruit!

1日花シリーズ　第三話フヨウそしてフヨウの色は？白かな？本当？よく見て！彼女は白いキャンバス

1日花シリーズ　第三話
フヨウ

そしてフヨウの色は？白かな？本当？よく見て！
彼女は白いキャンバスのようです！周りの葉っぱの緑と、心のピンクがキャンバスを渡り、そして真ん中に繋がる様々な細い道のようである。フヨウは、自分の感情と、周りの状況に自分の花びらを染めさせる。自分の気持ちを大切にしながら、周りの状況も認めてくれる心の広い花ですよ。
そしてもうひとつの色は？ハチに食べさせてくれる黄色い粉が、花びらに落ちる。フヨウは寛大さのおかげで、よりカラフルになるよ！

私たちはたまに心を無くしたい時があるよね。思い感情や責任から解放されて、「白」になりたい。しかしそれは多分不可能だと思う。そのかわりに白いキャンバスになってみよう！心の中にスペースを作ろう！
心の中の気持ちと周りからの影響が、その白いキャンバスの真ん中に混合させてみよう。それで私たちはどんな色になるか楽しみにしよう！

皆さんは、たった1日しか咲くことができなかったら、その一日をどうやって過ごすのかな？

The last part of the one Day flower series is about the cotton rose, who I met in december.
what color is she? White? Are you sure? Look closer!

She said white it is just an emply canvas… a canvas that lets me tell a
story. And my story is full of my pink heart, and my green bush! the canvas is
the place where they meet, where they make their paths cross.

At that moment, a giant bug, a bee actually (クマバチ) flow into her, starting to eat
from her stamens, scattering the yellow flower powder all around the petals.
-I am an open plate! And my stamens are the main course for all the bees! I only live
one day, I dont want to waste any time with keeing my powder away from the bees!

By engaging with the wild life, I could feel her energy, wanting to pop out from the
green bush even more! so I made the green as dark around her as I could!
make her white canvas, her open plate look more wide, filled with engaging pink blue
and yellow colors!

Sometimes we want to exist without a heart, we all want to be white, free fom all the
emotions, all the deep feelings and obligations

But I don’t think we can do that. We have to give space, be a white canvas, and see all the path of
colors going through us! the dark green and blue coming inside, meeting the pink
feelings coming from our heart… and sometimes some yellow drops on us from the
sky! because we were generous enough to offer our powder for the bees…some of
that powder will fall back onto our white petals…

How about you? If you had only one day to bloom, how would you spend it?

1日花シリーズ　第二話オレンジハイビスカスユウナと違って、オレンジのハイビスカスは一日中私たち

1日花シリーズ　第二話
オレンジハイビスカス

ユウナと違って、オレンジのハイビスカスは一日中私たちを眺めているよ！
しかも、心と翼を絶対に分けない！
色をよく見てみて！心の赤が、翼のオレンジと混ざり合う！ハイビスカスは、心から翼を造るよ！
しかし、その翼は心の重さのせいで、一切飛べない。ハイビスカスは飛べないことを認めて、私たちの近くにいてくれて、カラフルな花びらで私たちを喜ばしてくれる素晴らしい花だよ！
やりたいことが多すぎて、全部完璧に達成する時間がない時に緊張感が溢れて心と翼がが重くなる時がありますね。
その時に、私は空を飛べない！ことを受け入れて、ハイビスカスのように、緑の中に自分の飛べない翼を広げれば？
私が出来ることがそれだけでも、周りの人が私の鮮やかな色を見て、喜ぶかも！
だってハイビスカスもみんなを喜ばす素晴らしい花ですよ！
みんなさんもやりすぎないように、気をつけましょうね！心から作った素敵な翼を広げるだけで大丈夫だよ！

One day flower story series: Part two: Orange Hibiscus

Look at the orange hibiscus! She is looking right at us!
And she doesn’t want to separate her heart from her wings. Look at her colors
closely! She blends her red heart into her orange wings! She creates her wings from her heart!
but she accepts that those wings can not fly. She rather stays down, and makes
others happy with her colorful petals!

she thins her heart, she stretches it, that is how she make her wings
thats it

your wings should grow from your heart
you have to accept that you can not separate them from the start
you have to accept you can not fly!
like the hibiscus does. look at her, how majestic and incredibly beautiful she is! even
though she stays inside the green

Sometimes I am overwhelmed because I try to take on too much… sounds familiar?
But if I accept that I can not fly,
If I just stayed in
the green, stretch my wings as wide as I can
Thats enough to make the people around me happy!

Its okay i dont want to fly…
all I need is just a little window of freedom, to splash my light orange color^^

Do you separate your heart and your wings like the beach hibiscus?
Or do blend them together, creating wings from your heart like the orange hibiscus?

Story time!😊 1日花は、朝花を咲かせ、たった一日で枯れてしまう花である。しかし、それぞれの花のその1日の過ごし方が異なる！

「翼を広く開けないと、落ちるわ！」ユウナは、彼女を持ち上げてくれる木の枝が見えなくて、自分が飛んでいると思ってしまう。
よく見たら、彼女が目を下に向けて1日を過ごしている。
ユウナの中の紫色の心が見えますか？そこは硬いよ！ユウナは硬い心と、軽くて黄色い翼を分けて1日過ごす。もし紫色は黄色に混ざってしまえば、翼が重くなるよ。

ゆうなちゃん、心配しなくていいよ！だって元々飛べないですね！彼女を持っている木が見えたらいいな！

私もたまにゆうなちゃんのような気持ちになる。心がいろんないろんな感情に圧倒される時に、私の心の重さは、私の翼に移っちゃう。体が全部重くなり、落ちそうに感じる。
しかし、結局落ちないよ！私は大丈夫よ！その「木」にちゃんと持たされている。頭を上に向けてきが見えたらいいな！ま、それはできないから、私は信仰を持って、その木に毎日感謝して生きていく！そして時が来たら、その「木」は私をゆうなちゃんも憧れている海へ落としてくれるように祈ります！

In my “one Day flower” portrait series, i would like to introduce to you some flowers who would blossom for only one day!
They are so precious to me, because the stories they told me helped me get through times, when I felt overwhelmed.
They told me how they deal with stress on that one day they bloom…

Our first flower is the beach hibiscus. You can find her close to the beach, but also in the city near the mangloves. These trees like to reach for the water^^ i will tell you why^^
The beach hibiscus spends her day, trying to open her wings as wide as she can, because
she thinks she is flying!
Look at her closely, she is looking down to the ground. She can not see the tree that is holding
her. She thinks she needs her wings to hold her up in the air…
Can you see her purple heart inside? That part is hard, she keeps it separated from her light
yellow wings. If the purple gets mixed into the yellow, her wings will get heavy…

Such a pity! that she doesnt know! she doesnt need to worry about her wings..
because she can not fly in the first place… there is a tree holding her.
a tree that wants to drop all her flowers onto the ocean… where they can float.
where they can truly fly, without a branch holding her.

Sometimes this happens to me when I get overwhelmed……I let my heart affect my wings… and I
became heavy and dark, I can’t fly anymore I am afraid I will fall at any monent…

But I never do!

Here I am! I am fine!!! I wish I could look up to see who is holding me… but I
can’t… so I just believe. and be grateful. And pray, someday when I am ready,
he can drop me onto the water!

私たちを巡る自然は様々な恵みに溢れている。その恵みは、人によって異なる意味を持つでしょう。森の中の平和や、海岸の風が届ける自由の感情、花々の甘い香り、果樹園で取った果物の豊かな味。私にとっての恵みは、自然との会話です。絵を描きながら眺める木々、花と果物たちが語ってくれる物語、海岸をスケッチするときに出会う風からの挨拶。私は自然の中で出会ったたくさんの友達を首里カフェルーツに足を運ぶ皆さんに紹介したい！沖縄の果物のスムージーを飲みながら、沖縄の自然にインスパイアされた絵画展に癒されよう、自然の恵みに溢れているカフェへどうぞお越しください。

The nature around us is full of blessings. These blessings could mean something different for each one of us. The feeling of peace in the forest, or freedom on a windy beach, the sweet scent of the flowers, or the rich taste of a fruit you just picked in an orchard. For me, these blessings are conversations. Stories I hear from all the flowers, fruits and trees I sit down to paint, stories the Wind brings, as she blows into my face while I am sketching the ocean. I am blessed with a lot of friends I made in nature, and I would like to invite you to meet them at this exhibition! Come to Shuri Cafe Roots, enjoy a cup of smoothie made from local fruits, immerse into the colorful world of my illustrations. You will be surrounded by the blessings of nature, you can taste them in your drink, and you can enjoy them looking right at you, from the walls.

Have you noticed that sometimes you can find white azaleas that have pink stripes in them?
Usually they grow right next to their pink sisters.
First I thought the white one is jealous of her pink sisters and wants some pink for herself.
But after having a chat with her, I realized that she is not happy with her pink stripes! She
didn’t ask for them! She wants to be pure white, and she wants to be part of the green! That
is why the white azalea’s “freckes” are vivid green color^^
But I am happy she has her pink stripes! That is the reason I noticed her!
Thanks to them, I got to know about who she really is and what is her heart’s real desire^^
I learnt from her, that sometimes we might get noticed, because of parts that we don’t like
about ourselves, but maybe, thanks to that bad part, people have a chance to get to know
what is really in our Hearts, who we really are^^
So there is no reason to be grumpy about our pink stripes!

皆さん、気づいたでしょうか？たまに、白いツツジの花びらにピンクの線が「描いてある」。特に、
ピンクの花の灌木のすぐ横に咲く花の場合。
「ピンクの姉妹が羨ましくて、ピンクの色を自分に塗ったのでしょう」と私は勝手に思ったんです
が、彼女と会話したら、彼女の本心がわかった！
「私はピンクの線なんて要らない！純粋の白いままでいたかったわ」
白いツツジはピンクの線が欲しくなく、ピンクの姉妹から移ってしまったようです。
「私はただ、周りの緑の一部になりたかったです。」ツツジが言った。だから彼女のそばかすは可
愛い緑色だろう！よく見て！
しかし、私は白妙ツツジのピンクの線が大好きです！その線のおかげで、彼女に話しかけたから
です。その線のおかげで、ツツジの本心、彼女の心の本当の希望を知った！
私たちも、自分の好きじゃない目立つところがありますね！しかし、その嫌なところのおかげで、
他の人たちが私たちに気づいてくれて、私たちの本心を知り、私たちの心の本当の希望について
聴いてくれるかも！
皆さんも、「ピンクの線」を持ってるのでしょうか？

明後日まで(15日)✨🌸🌼🌻🌹

一年中、私たちの周りに様々な花が咲きます。
それぞれの花の色、生活、そして性格も違います。それぞれの花は、自分の物語を語りたがって
ます。
何で私がそれを知っているのでしょうか？
私は花たちが語る物語を聴くのが好きだからです。
私は画家だと思いますか？違います。私は物語の収集者と語り手、すなわちストーリーテラーで
すよ。この壁に絵画が掛けてあると思いますか？
これらは絵画だけでなく、花たちとのインタービューですよ！
私はよく自然の中で時間を過ごし、海、木と花々、果物などのスケッチを描きます。
私が言うに
私は自然を描くだけではないです。
私は筆を手に入れて、
自然をインタービューします。
大切なのは、絵を描くことより、物語を聴くことです。
「花に話しかけて」という展示シリーズを通して、私は沖縄で出会った花たちを皆さんに紹介した
いと思います。沖縄の花物語を一緒に探求しましょう！
そして、皆さんも今度公園を散歩したり、庭に座ったりするときに、花たちに近づけてみれば、花
たちが話しかけるかも…

So many flowers are blooming around us all year round.
All these flowers have different colors, lifestyles, and different personalities!
They all have their own story to tell!
How do I know?
Because I like to listen to them.
You may think I am a painter, but I am not. I am a story collector, and storyteller.
You may think these on the wall are paintings, but they are more.
They are interviews with the flowers.
I spend a lot of time outside, sketching, painting the ocean, the flowers, trees and fruits.
But as I like to say,
I am not painting nature, I am interviewing it.
With a paintbrush.
It`
s not about painting a picture. It’s about listening to a story.
In the “Talking to Flowers” exhibition series, I would like to introduce you to all the flowers
I’ve met in Okinawa! Come closer and explore the tales of the Flowers! the exhibition is until
Wednesday in Ryusion gift shop, but don’t be sad if you missed it, this will have to be a
looong exhibition series, since i have a lot lot of flowers I want to show you!
And next time you take a walk in the park, or sit down in your garden, look closer to those
flowers… they might have a story for you!

And what color is the cotton rose? White? Are you sure? Look closer!
She is like a white canvas! She let the green of her leaves, and the pink of her heart
collapse on her! She lets her emotions and her surroundings make her colorful!
And there is one more color! Her yellow powder, that she generously feeds the bees
with, falls back on her, making her more colorful!
そしてフヨウの色は？白かな？本当？よく見て！
彼女は白いキャンバスのようです！周りの葉っぱの緑と、心のピンクがキャンバスを渡り、

「翼を広く開けないと、落ちるわ！」ユウナは、彼女を持ち上げてくれる木の枝が見えなくて、自分が飛んでいると思ってしまう。
よく見たら、彼女が目を下に向けて1日を過ごしている。
ユウナの中の紫色の心が見えますか？そこは硬いよ！ユウナは硬い心と、軽くて黄色い翼を分けて1日過ごす。もし紫色は黄色に混ざってしまえば、翼が重くなるよ。

展示報告

“Talking to Flowers” vol. 1.
「花に話しかけて」展　🌸
Ryusion Gift Shop, American Village
@ryusionartgallery
2026.04.01.-15.

So many flowers are blooming around us all year round.
All these flowers have different colors, lifestyles, and different personalities!
They all have their own story to tell!
How do I know?
Because I like to listen to them.

You may think I am a painter, but I am not. I am a story collector, and storyteller.
You may think these on the wall are paintings, but they are more.
They are interviews with the flowers.

I spend a lot of time outside, sketching, painting the ocean, the flowers, trees and fruits.
But as I like to say,
I am not painting the nature, I am interviewing it.
With a paintbrush.
It`s not about painting a picture. It’s about listening to a story.

In the “Talking to Flowers” exhibition series, I would like to introduce you to all the flowers I’ve met in Okinawa! Come closer and explore the tales of the Flowers!
And next time you take a walk in the park, or sit down in your garden, look closer to those flowers… they might have a story for you!

一年中、私たちの周りに様々な花が咲きます。
それぞれの花の色、生活、そして性格も違います。それぞれの花は、自分の物語を語りたがってます。
何で私がそれを知っているのでしょうか？
私は花たちが語る物語を聴くのが好きだからです。

私は画家だと思いますか？違います。私は物語の収集者と語り手、すなわちストーリーテラーですよ。この壁に絵画が掛けてあると思いますか？
これらは絵画だけでなく、花たちとのインタービューですよ！

私はよく自然の中で時間を過ごし、海、木と花々、果物などのスケッチを描きます。
私が言うに
私は自然を描くだけではないです。
私は筆を手に入れて、
自然をインタービューします。
大切なのは、絵を描くことより、物語を聴くことです。

「花に話しかけて」という展示シリーズを通して、私は沖縄で出会った花たちを皆さんに紹介したいと思います。沖縄の花物語を一緒に探求しましょう！
そして、皆さんも今度公園を散歩したり、庭に座ったりするときに、花たちに近づけてみれば、花たちが話しかけるかも…
