Prelude of Spring
When time that stands still is stirred,
The waves in the air awaken wildlife from their winter slumber.
The melting of the snow is opening day of feeding season for them.
Snowscape
Steady snowfall brings airports, harbors, and roads to a halt.
But the children play gleefully in the white stuff,
And I’m restless to see the snowyoutdoors.
Singing About Spring
The flora chain of spring, as though powered by electricity.
With the switch ON, the buds all sprout at once.
Powered by the life force of trees linked by one electric wire,
The flowers burst into bloom; I painted it to look like that.
It’s the beginning of the season that makes our hearts rejoice.
Duet of the Forest
The strains of woodwinds sounding like Kagura at festivals or jazz waft from the forest.
The ancient Indio people (of the American continents) appeased the forest gods by dedicating dances accompanied by rhythmic sounds to them.
Even today, their genetic descendants continue to preserve this tradition respectfully as a cultural heritage.
Green Mail
A grand primeval forest of camphor trees stood here until the Meiji period.
The giant camphor tree in Gamagoori-seita, Aichi Prefecture, is a remnant of that forest.
The allure of the ancient forest endures even now.
Napping in the Shade of a Tree
As soon as I enter the shade of a tree on a hot day, I relax as though hypnotized and my eyelids droop.
Even the cat is unhappy with the air-conditioning.

Profile of Hiromichi Iida
Hiromichi Iida was born in 1936, in a northeastern province of China, and currently lives in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.
Since graduating from Tama Art University, he has been working as a freelance photographer.
He boasts a list of many awards received, such as selection for the APA Exhibition and the Silver Prize at the JPS Exhibition.
As an artist currently registered with Artbility, he takes on the challenge of producing a variety of illustrations that capture the hearts of his fans with the peaceful atmosphere and poetry flowing in his work.
“I am Hiromichi Iida. I‘m glad to meet you. I am newly disabled (hearing impaired). I did not paint pictures prior to becoming disabled. However, since then I have come to paint with the belief that I have been reborn. I paint pictures by recollecting the sounds of music and the chirping of birds, which are all memories from my past.”
