    As it flourishes in the depth of sea

    蓮葉の 深海に棲む 白花は 魚族のごとき 衣まとへり

    2003, Japan. More details
    The white lotus flowers
    Like the fishes in the deep sea
    Radiate from among the lotus leaves


    “The fishes in the dark depth of sea must illuminate by emitting its own light.”
    It is the same in a society that is as dark as the deep sea, that all hope will be lost unless we illuminate ourselves from within, these are the words of our forefather and poet, Akashi Kaijin. Likewise this white lotus is illuminating itself, even in a harsh environment, to light up hope within us like the white shining fishes that flock around the green lotus leaves.
