"Even in its quiet rest, the little dragon holds the seed of love—
a soul born to give, to share, and to shine."
"The future rests gently inside a warm dream."
While creating this piece, my heart was unusually quiet—
as if I were gently touching the very source of life within me.
In each line I drew, I felt the presence of a soft, tender being—
a life not yet awakened, but clearly carrying the light of the future.
Alongside the feeling of wanting to protect this little one,
there was also a quiet certainty: that one day, this being would grow to protect others.
As I painted, I found myself silently saying "thank you" over and over—
perhaps because I already sensed that this small presence,
even in stillness, held the power to give.
I hope this artwork gently reminds you to believe in the future,
and to feel the quiet joy that already exists in the here and now.
"True happiness is not something we receive alone—
but something we create and share with others."
This painting features a young Dragon Child, peacefully asleep on a bed of soft, leafy cushions.
Its gentle, serene expression evokes the essence of a newly born soul—innocent, pure, and deeply at peace.
Floating in the background are the kanji characters for "Joy" (喜) and "Dream" (夢).
It feels as though this Dragon Child is gently traveling through the dreamscape of a future world—
a realm where flowers bloom endlessly, soft colors flow, and love and hope abound.
Etched into the child's body is the character "施" (Hodokoshi), which appears in all of MIRAI's works.
It symbolizes the act of giving, sharing, and creating a circle of loving generosity.
This Dragon Child is also destined to grow into a being that gives blessings to others in the future.
The happiness we are really searching for lies in sharing it with someone —
and that is the quiet, warm message this painting offers you.
