🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING

"What do flowers and birds blooming in the snow prove?"

📝ONGO's Reflection

This Japanese hanging scroll by So Shiseki holds the sight of flowers blooming and birds settling even within a snow-covered scene. White snow and vivid color stand in contrast, making the will to live all the more distinct. A flower that bloomed in the coldest place says that circumstance does not decide everything. Bad conditions do not bring all things to a halt. There are things that bloom even amid barrenness, and that tenacity is the clearest proof of being alive.
