"Strength is not found in the heat of summer, but in the heart of winter."

Created in January 2026, Love (愛 — Ai) serves as the conceptual anchor for the year. Featuring two pigeons nestled amidst a lush garden of winter peonies, this work redefines "Love" not as a fleeting emotion, but as a resilient energy.

In the Japanese tradition, the winter peony is a miracle of cultivation—blooming against the frost through sheer care and protection. Here, it represents the motivation required to start anew at the beginning of the year. The two pigeons symbolize a shared resilience; a partnership of spirit that thrives even when the conditions are harsh. This is a portrait of love as an active, motivating force.

The Technique: To capture the feeling of handmade craftsmanship, this print is produced on 250g Japanese Washi. The heavy, textured fibers of the washi ground the airy subject matter, giving the "optimism" a physical weight. Printed via the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1100, the pigments in 12 different colors ensure that the pigeon's nuanced expression remains with color depth. It is also retouched digitally to maintain sharpness in some parts of the painting.
