・ Artist statement
I got lost in a deep deep gray forest,
Reading and skating are great,
I forgot the book I read on the train at home,
It's like the story I read last time,
The bookstore hasn't opened yet,
We always discuss this ending,
I couldn't sleep because I was worried about the continuation
Also lost,
I haven't met many people who want to talk about this photo,
I read more at the park and waited for you,
20:00 reading party,
Your recommendation is always boring,
I've been waiting outside for another 50 minutes,
I bought each one of my favorite books at a bookstore in the back of the forest.
I really like this story, which you read before you go to sleep.
