A hymn to the magnificent sunflowers!

Thursday, August 7, 2025

The 23-hectare sunflower field spreads across the land of Hokuryu Town, and the 2 million sunflowers that bloom there are now at their most glorious.

The sight of the large golden flowers spreading out and blooming towards the sky is so magnificent that it seems like something from another world, a miracle of life itself.

Basking in the brilliant sunlight, swaying in the wind and dancing in the light, the sunflowers all sing a silent song of joy that resonates across the sky in unison.

Each flower smiles with its heart, as if to say, "We are alive," and "We want to bring you joy along with the sun."

When we come into contact with this dazzling vitality, we quietly recall the "hope," "feelings," and "connections" that lie deep within our hearts.

With boundless love, gratitude and prayers to the mysterious sunflowers that convey the message, "The preciousness of living by looking at the light at all times."
