Ms.Saarahat, a very busy alien, has moved to Kyoto and we met her for the first time in a long time.

 After viewing Shiozawa’s latest works at his studio, the rainy weather cleared up, giving way to a refreshing evening. We then made our way to Oden Jirokichi in Kamishichiken.

Shiozawa’s dedication to painting and Saarahat’s activities on YouTube and in books share many common goals. In particular, we have pledged to work together to rethink the future of education and to advocate for a thorough review of Japan’s education system.

When we talk with Saarahat, it feels like we’re among fellow countrymen with a bright future ahead, and that gives us courage.
