In March 2024, I retired as a teacher, and in April, I took a one-week car trip around the Kii Peninsula, including the Kumano Kodo. From Mount Koya to Tenkawa Village, Totsukawa Village, Kumano Sanzan, Ise Jingu, Uda in Nara, and Takidani Fudo... This trip was a journey of rebirth for me—a journey of "Yomigaeri" (spiritual rebirth). A piece expressing the memories of that journey as a mandala. Exhibited at the "Mandala Art Exhibition 2024" of that year.
