🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING
"What does it mean to gather the flowers and birds of four seasons in one place?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
This Japanese screen by Mori Kansai spreads the flowers and birds of the four seasons across one surface, turning the flow of time into space. Spring blossom and winter bird keep company side by side, showing the cycle of a year at a single glance. To gather scattered seasons into one place is a heart that seeks to embrace the whole of change. Good times and hard times are all parts of one year. When we look upon the whole rather than dwelling in any one season, we can pass through this present time with more composure.
