The colors of Niha
It's the season when plants sprout and the new green leaves are dazzling to the eye.
Suwa Yuumi says that Makoto Ooka’s famous essay “Power of words” inspired her to enter the world of dyeing. He weaved transparent words to capture the brilliance of life that lurks in ordinary moments, such as changing of the seasons.
The ever-changing sight of spring plants is so powerful and fast-paced that you won't want to miss a single moment of it.
Plants quietly store energy and possess invisible sparks of life. This time we asked Suwa to express these in the form of colors.
I hope you can feel the hidden wildness of the Landskip garden that has been brought to light by her work.
