I scooped up small insects like mosquitoes and dragonflies
that fell into the sink water with my hands to help them.
In ancient East Asia, the roots of the balloon flower were used as medicine, so this herb was described as a sacred plant. Also, in Japan, balloon flowers bloom from summer to autumn, and through the poem written at the image, this work expresses both the mercy of the gods and the summer season with flower illustration.
