Sunflower Village, where the clearing work has begun, Wednesday, August 24, 2022.

Thursday, August 25, 2022

The Sunflower Festival has ended, and some plots have begun to be cleared before plowing.

The cycle of life, with petals falling, seeds forming, and the entire flower gradually withering and returning to the earth.

With great love, gratitude and prayers to the great Sunflower Village, where we realize its powerful life force and boundless preciousness.

尊い生命の循環!
The precious cycle of life!
