In this spring, my daughter finished a nursery school and had embarked on the new stage to start an elementary school.
The joy to see her grow into a school girl, and the loneliness to realise the end of her babyhood whom I was able to hold completely in my arms.
The colour of Sakura* which is pink mixed with grey, perfectly matches with my mixed feelings.
At the entrance ceremony, I dressed a kimono made by myself from the threads which I dyed grey with acorns, and a piece-dyed Haori* in Sakura colour on top which I ordered from the shop, Aoyama Yagi, for this occasion.
*Sakura: Cherry blossoms.
*Haori: Half-coat for Kimono
