Aroma of summer

One hot summer day in the afternoon during my childhood I envisioned a light-scape waving among deep green trees. While I rested from hot energy under the shade of a tree, an aroma of summer had brought me a wonderful dream for my future, that people all over the world were cherishing human warmth at heart, and were living in an eternal world: the human desire most in demand was finally realized. Now in the middle of July, I had a meeting with all my staff at my atelier near my house that I started renting several years ago. It was when I was about to go to Osaka, I told my fellow to look for a house that I saw in my night dream, its composition, location and renting price. On the same day I was told that he had encountered exactly the same house and everyone was greatly surprised because it was only advertised since that day. At that time I had no idea what to do with this house, however, as my dream corresponded so perfectly to reality I decided to rent it and contracted to do so on the following day. It was a tiny lovely house that made me recall an aroma and light of summer day that I had envisioned in my childhood, so I made up my mind to use this as my atelier. I became certain that what I had envisioned had predicted this encounter. I was very excited, encouraged to create many things and filled with hope for the future. I was very happy to be able to make a new start from here. Our meeting was also animated as we talked about realizing many dreams. An aroma of summer provided me with the vision of a brilliant future.
