026 Onchi Koshiro Spring at Nijubashi

니주바시의 봄
🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING

"When spring comes again to a fallen place, with what does a person rise?"

📝ONGO's Reflection

This Japanese print by Onchi Koshiro holds the scene of a bridge in the time when a city, fallen in a great earthquake, was rising again. Even after great disaster, spring comes without fail, and people lay a bridge once more on the broken place. The principle of falling and rising again is the same in any land. Here I see the power of recovery. More than the fact that something has fallen, what a person builds again in its place tells who he is. Spring comes without choosing the fallen places. The place to begin again always remains.
