That day, it was on my timeline where I came across initial reports of the mass stabbings that took place at a care home for disabled people in Kanagawa Prefecture. I was immediately plunged into darkness because to me, the news meant that my brother might have been killed. As more information surfaced gradually, it was confirmed that the care home was not my brother’s; it was another one in the same prefecture. Even so, it was just a result of several lucky coincidences that my brother didn’t get killed that summer; I don’t think this idea will go away from my head someday. Years have gone by. Now that summer is returning once again, I will present what I had drawn and painted before that day as well as what I have drawn and painted since that day. It will be an exhibition composed of the old house where our grandparents used to live, located on the outskirt of Kamakura, Kanagawa; its own garden; and my paintings and drawings.
