What does “Clothing” mean to you?
A hiding place.

Clothing opens and closes my mind.
If I don't like who I am now, I can find a new me by hiding in the next outfit.
What does “Contemporary Life” mean to you?
A selective choice of favorites.

We live in a time of too much information, too many things, and too much of everything.
It is a little difficult to choose what you "like" from the vast universe.
However, we must not slack off and continue to select things like doing our laundry every day.
Even if the things have faded due to over-washing, I like the way they look.
I want to spend time with them for a long time.
I want to spend time with that kind of feeling in the present age.
What are the things you are thinking about lately?
About the mission of life.

Life is free and time is long.
That is why I am not sure how to live my life.
Who am I? I think about my mission.
Then, I intentionally put myself in a frame.
Then I find freedom within the frame.
The arrow of the way of life.
Let's live tomorrow.
