be sensitive & effectual.
Even though I am the managing director, I am easily hurt.
That was my problem.
That day, when I was casually joking around with my friend,
The friend said, "I think your sensitivity is wonderful. You don't have to fix it."
And he showed me a poem by Noriko Ibaraki.
I was shocked by what was written there.
"My frail heart is like a fresh raw oyster,
easily hurt even by the cursing of a child.
But I know now that there is no need to try and fix it.
I can be as soft as a fresh rose, even as I get older.
It is hard to bloom in the wider world.
But in any work,
At the core of every effort,
A fragile antenna is inside, hidden and shivering, perhaps.... "
It was these words that saved me, I who thought that a weak heart is something to overcome.
I knew that these were the words I always wanted to hear all this time.
yori.so gallery & label was born from this experience, a gallery room and label that inspires a sensitive & effectual way of life that harnesses the sensitivity in people's hearts, to encourage them, not to hurt them.
A trembling heart is a gift.
I hope you will see that, too.

Emily Dickinson was an American poet who lived during the Civil War. She spent her entire life in a white dress in a house surrounded by nature, and rarely went outside, relying on the light coming in through the windows to continue writing poetry.
Because of the way we live, we have both the desire to protect what is fragile within our hearts from the thorns of the real world, and the prayer-like feeling that we still want to interact with the real world through creation. I feel it.
A movie and two dresses were created based on that way of life.
