≪Message from Sui Ochi≫
To me, the white dove shone most beautifully in the blue summer sky. Not in a blazing fire, a pale blue flash, or a foreign airplane. If I had been under that sky at that time, I would have drawn a picture with a charred feather that had flown from somewhere. I wonder if anyone would want that picture.
