[Snippet from the book’s Introduction]
“There have been many goodbyes over the past few years.
So many regrets, so many things I couldn’t accept.
I couldn’t even look at those photos from the past.
“I wonder if they were happy.”
That’s something that often would pop into my head without warning.
But then I could close my eyes and only remember the happy moments.
Little by little, I’ve been able to smile at those pictures again.
They remind me that the days we spent together were definitely beautiful.
I hope you’ll keep smiling, even if it’s only in my memories.
I would be happy if my works are able to touch someone’s heart and remain in their memory, if only just a little bit.”
