Sakura no Toki -Sakura no Mori no Shita o Ayumu-

Geniuses, the talented, and the ordinary. Weak gods and strong gods. A story that goes beyond happiness, and even further still. This, indeed, is the second act of the Sakura story. A genius chosen by the gods, a talented person abandoned by the gods, and an ordinary person who defies the gods. What is the charis that dwells in beauty? Why is its fruit given only to the chosen? “Where did we come from? Who are we? Where are we going?” A world bound by the light of causal exchange. Can artists, through beauty, answer that question? The thoughts of all humans intersect.

The genius, the brilliant, and the ordinary. The weak God and the strong God. A story that goes further beyond happiness. That is the second act of the cherry blossom story. The genius chosen by God, the genius abandoned by God, and the ordinary man resisting God. What is the charisse of beauty? Why is its fruit given only to the chosen? "Where do we come from, who are we, where are we going?" A world where the light of causal exchange is bound together. Can the artist answer that question through beauty? This is the story told around Naoya Kusanagi after Sakura no Uta. The final scene from that hill, where Naoya and Ai descended while looking at the town of Yumebari. There were many untold stories leading up to that point. Two geniuses. The true story of Natsume Kei and Kusanagi Naoya. Why do they continue to be artists who fascinate people even after their death or when they break their brushes? The painter, Misakura Rin, is the embodiment of beauty itself. Why does she try to go beyond where they stopped? What about Hikawa Rina? Kawachino Yumi? What about Toritani Makoto? And Natsume Ai? All kinds of human thoughts intersect.
