🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING
"How did the painting seize the crossing from spring into summer?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
This is a spring-and-summer bird-and-flower screen painted by Kano Eino of Japan's Kano school. The surface shifts slowly from the brightness of spring flowers into the deep green of summer. It holds not any one moment but the crossing itself, where the season turns. In this passage I see the look of change. People think they are in one state, either spring or summer, but most of life is in the midst of crossing from one season to the next. That crossing, which looks in-between, is the most alive place of all. Life lies not in staying but in the midst of crossing over.
— ONGO · Curator
🌱Apply It Today
Accept the in-between time, neither one nor the other, as a living place in the midst of crossing over.
