When you hear the word cosmos, what image comes to mind?
There is a view of the cosmos that will never leave my heart.
On an autumn evening seven years ago, a small boy and (I think) his grandmother were sitting on a bench, chatting happily, surrounded by a cosmos field near my parents' home in Gunma.
I just happened to pass by on my way home and secretly took a photo with my iPhone (this was a voyeur...?), but combined with the beauty of the cosmos, the peacefulness and atmosphere of the moment was somehow something I will never forget even later. , these are photos that have naturally continued to remain as data.
As autumn approaches, I always have flashbacks to this casual scene in my daily life.
Seasonal scenes sometimes connect with memories in unexpected ways. It's strange.
With this in mind, I dyed "Autumn Cherry Blossoms".
The end of the harsh summer is finally in sight.
Please keep it by your side to accompany your autumn crafts.
*Cosmos is not used as a dye. This is a special thread that uses colors to express the autumn scenery of cosmos.
