About this piece
This painting depicts a sloping road in Kobe that leads down to the sea.
As a child, I often gazed out from this hillside, and the color of the distant ocean stayed with me through the years.
The light, the incline, the quiet breeze—these elements blend with memories, forming a scene that bridges what I see and what I remember.
The Colors I Love
(The Slope to My Hometown's Sea)
Lyrics by Michika, Translated by Eimei
I like the colors of the sun,
seen through the glass of a marble spun
I like the color of the sea, so far, so blue,
that slopes gently into a distant view.
I like the color of stars that softly shine,
scattered across the midnight line.
And more than all the hues I know,
I love the color of your smile.
