4. PROSPERITY - DECLINATION

There is a Buddhist term called "無常". It means impermanence, that things change and never stay the same, that life and death are always changing. For example, many of us Japanese who value Buddhism find more beauty in the fading of cherry blossoms than in their full bloom. Because we see the transience of things there, we naturally feel the need to cherish the finite nature of life.
The words "無常 - impermanence" or "諸行無常 - the impermanence of all things" have been frequently used in much Japanese literature since ancient times.

Flowers and trees that sprout in the spring will eventually wither and return to the earth. We must respect and follow such an unchangeable fate, which is inherent in nature, in order to gain guidance for life.

In this work, the sound fades away unnoticed, and in the end only traces of its former existence remain. Here I wanted to express the "aesthetics of transience.
