White clouds gently drift sideways, following the ridgelines of the snow-capped mountains.
Its form resembled a white dragon cloud gently nestled among the mountains—quiet yet powerful, exuding an aura of protection watching over the land.
In the fields and rice paddies throughout town, plowing has finally begun, and the soil, awakened from its slumber, is slowly coming back to life. The earth is now carefully and steadily preparing to welcome the next generation of life.
Mountains rise majestically, watching over the land, and above them, a clear, azure sky that seems to draw you in, and the majestic presence of white dragon-shaped clouds.
In the stillness of nature, the pure song of a skylark suddenly resonates high in the sky. Its clear tone is a melody of happiness, bringing the joy of the bright spring that is yet to come.
When you surrender yourself to the embrace of nature, your mind seems to calm down, and your body and soul gently relax.
Watched over by the white dragon-shaped clouds, the land of Hokuryu Town has once again begun to stir into a new season of life.
