In June, Japan is enveloped by the rainy season — a time of quiet melancholy and gentle stillness. Nourished by the persistent rain, hydrangeas bloom in subtle hues, standing gracefully in the mist. On rare mornings when the skies clear, another blessing reveals itself — a sea of clouds drifting like a dream through the mountain valleys. On this particular day, these two gifts of rain converged, and for a fleeting moment, a vision appeared between earth and sky — a sky garden, suspended in stillness and light.
