絵の構想中に、戦火の知らせ。
胸ざわつくまま、そっと手を合わせた。
平和しか知らないのに。

私の絵に影響力なんてない。
だから、ありのままに。
平和を語る資格もない。
だから、自分が見たものだけを、ありのままに。

News of war reached me while I was planning a painting.
With a restless heart, I quietly brought my hands together in prayer.
Though I’ve only ever known peace.

My painting holds no influence.
So I paint just as it is.
I have no right to speak of peace.
So I simply paint what I have seen—just as it is.
