STARS AND DANDELIONS

Deep in the blue sky,
like pebbles at the bottom of the sea,
lie the stars unseen in daylight
until night comes.
You can't see them, but they are there.
Unseen things are still there.

The withered, seedless dandelions
hidden in the crack of the roof tile
wait silently for spring,
their strong roots unseen.
You can't see them, but they are there.
Unseen things are still there.

Translations by Sally Ito & Michiko Tsuboi / JULA

〈Design descriptions〉

Simple yet charming dandelions have been arranged into a bouquet with other plants, populating the navy-blue night sky.
They are suspended in the sky, the dandelion’s seedheads and flowers glowing in the darkness.
