私自身の経験から、「愛のある場所でこそ人は生きる力を得る」
アートは人々が自分自身と向き合い、

An abstract artist deeply inspired by "The Little Mermaid" and Japanese culture, captivated by the beauty of inner peace and the spirit of harmony. Two years ago, after giving birth to her daughter, she gained a renewed appreciation for the value of life and is passionately engaged in activities aimed at creating a society filled with love. Embracing the Japanese concept of "Yaoyorozu no Kami," which suggests that all things possess a soul, she expresses human potential and beauty through her art with warm energy, providing a sense of awareness for individuals to live richly and authentically. Her philosophy and vision include "In places filled with love, people gain the strength to live" and "Becoming an artist who supports others." Her distinctive works are small, approximately 30×30 cm, including the frame. She has lived in Miyakojima City, Okinawa Prefecture, and is originally from Yamagata Prefecture. Her specialty dish is Sata Andagi (Okinawan-style doughnuts).

The story of "The Little Mermaid," beloved around the world, portrays the beauty of compassion and has influenced the values of many people. I am also a big fan of "The Little Mermaid," and believe its spirit shares commonalities with Japanese culture. For example, Zen, the art of calligraphy, tea ceremony, and kintsugi teach us about the peace of mind and respect for others.
However, in modern society, many people face stress and loneliness, making it difficult to find peace of mind. The thinning of communication leads to a lack of self-understanding and understanding of others, causing serious impacts on mental health in Japanese society.
From my own experience, I have realized that "it is in places filled with love that people find the strength to live," prompting me to deeply consider the mental health challenges in Japan. I hope that many people can enjoy the harmony of spirit found in Japanese culture.
Art is gaining attention as a means for people to confront themselves and find healing. By utilizing the concept of "Yaoyorozu no Kami," which holds that all things have a spirit, we aim to express the essence and beauty of people through art, helping everyone to create an environment where they can "live richly as themselves."

メッセージ
二年前、娘を出産した時、命の誕生に深く感動しました。
人は愛に満ちた環境でこそ力を得て、
アートは自己理解や他者理解を深める有効な手段であり、
私は、皆様一人一人が内なる愛の力を信じる事で、
このメッセージが、その希望を共有するものとなりますように。
Two years ago, when I gave birth to my daughter, I was deeply moved by the miracle of life. While she brought light into my world, I also found myself wondering, “Why is there always so much trouble in this world? Why do people hurt each other?” A life born into this world does not deserve to be hurt or to hurt others.
When surrounded by love, people can gain the strength to have a positive impact on themselves and on others. But today, many people are overwhelmed by stress and loneliness, making it difficult to find peace of mind.
Art is a powerful way to understand ourselves and others more deeply, and through shared experience and empathy, it offers healing. In Japan, we have a concept called “Yaoyorozu no Kami,” or “eight million gods,” which means that everything has a spirit. Through art, I hope to express the warmth, beauty, and potential within people, and help others become more aware of how to live fully and richly in their own way.
I truly believe in the power of love within each and every one of us. That belief gives me confidence that we each have the ability to change ourselves and the world for the better.
I hope this message helps you feel that same hope too.
あなたは、どんな人生を
生きたいとお考えでしょうか？
時間は有限です。
大切な命の時間を
どうやって過ごしていきますか？
未来のあなたは、
どんな姿でこちらを見ているのでしょうか。
大切な命の時間、
重要でない存在に、
あなたの幸せを渡さないでください。
完璧だから愛される？
不完全だから愛されない？
いいえ、あなた自身だからこそ、
あなただけの魅力に、
人は心を動かされるのです。
あなたが望む人生を送るために、
時間とお金をどのように使いますか？
私が優先して選択してよかったと思う、
3つのことをお話しさせていただきます。
一つ目は、自分をアップデートする経験や、
今しかできないことに
時間とお金を投資したことです。
「心の声は、自分を導く声」でした。
自分の心を見失い、
生きる意欲もなくした日々。
うつ病が悪化し、自殺未遂。
摂食障害がひどく、
人生が崩壊寸前だったけれど、
心と身体、食について学び、
摂食障害を克服！
沖縄県宮古島市へ移住し、
環境を変えたことで、
自分の心を取り戻せました。
その経験で、
「人は愛のある温かな場所でこそ、
生きる力を得る」と知りました。
経験は複利で価値が増えて、
残りの人生に影響します。
だから1日でも早い経験が大切です。
あなたの経験が気づきを、
あなたの失敗は勇気に、
あなたの存在は必ず誰かの光となります。
2つ目は、早くから自分の役割に気づき、
果たしていくことです。
宮古島市へ移住していた時、
人に絵を描いて欲しいと依頼を受けました。
そしたら、『自分のことが好きになれたよ」と
喜ばれ、お金までいただけたのです。
それは私にとって衝撃的で、
初めての経験でした。
自分ができることで、
人に貢献できたことが嬉しく、
生きる原動力となりました。
人々をイメージして絵を描いて、
わかったことがあります。
それは、みんなの魂が、
本当に結麗だと言うことです。
色の違いはありますが、
みんなの命が尊く
素晴らしいことに気づきました。
そして私は思いました、
「人がそれぞれ自分の得意なことで
楽しくワクワク貢献し、
キラキラ輝き会えたら、
どれだけ美しい世界が実現できるのだろう」と。
今世界には問題が山積みで、
1日も早い課題解決が求められます。
そのためにまずは自分の本質を知り、
自分の能力を社会で生かしていくことが
大切です。
フランスのファッションデザイナー、
ココシャネルの名言に、
こんな言葉があります。
「美しさは、あなたがあなたらしくいると
決めたときに始まる。」
3つ目は、大切な人との時間を
大事に生きることです。
私が人生の中で豊かさを見出したのは、
人の温かさに触れた時や、
家族を愛しく感じた時です。
それこそが、宝であり、
自分にエネルギーを与えてくれることを
知りました。
目的を持って、
今の瞬間の「命の時間の使い方」を選択する。「この選択は、
つながっているか？」
「自分は人に何を与えられるか？」
「誰を幸せにしたいのか？」
人生は、大切な人と共に輝くためにあります。
限りある大切な時間。
あなたの心のあり方を大事にしていきましょう。
アドラー心理学で有名な精神科医、
アルフレッドアドラーは
こんなことを言っています。
「1時間の浪費を何とも思わない人は、
人生の価値をまだ発見していない。」
たった1度の人生を
価値あるものにしていきましょう。
自分を知り、行動して学び、可能性を広げる。
今から一緒に、動いていきましょう。
あなたは、どんな人生を生きたいですか？
By the way, what kind of life do you wish to live? Time is finite. How will you spend your precious life moments? What does your future self look like when you envision yourself?
Don't give away your happiness to things that are not important in your life. Is it true that you must be perfect to be loved? Or imperfect to be unloved? No, people are moved by your unique charm because you are you.
How will you use your time and money to live the life you desire? Let me share three things that I prioritized and am glad I chose.
First, I invested my time and money in experiences that updated myself and things that can only be done now. "The voice of the heart was the guiding voice."
I lost sight of my heart and my will to live. My depression worsened, leading to a suicide attempt. My eating disorder became severe, and my life was on the brink of collapse. However, by learning about the heart, body, and nutrition, I was able to overcome my eating disorder.
I moved to Miyakojima City in Okinawa Prefecture, and changing my environment helped me regain my heart. Through this experience, I learned that "people gain the strength to live only in places with warmth and love."
Experiences increase in value exponentially and impact the rest of your life. Therefore, experiences are important, even one day earlier. Your experiences bring awareness, your failures bring courage, and your existence is certainly a light for someone.
Hello! Nice to meet you. I am Mermaid Nao. My journey has been shaped by the enchanting tale of "The Little Mermaid" and the rich culture of Japan.
The second thing I've realized early on is the importance of recognizing and fulfilling one's role. When I moved to Miyakojima City, I was asked to draw a picture for someone. To my surprise, they were delighted and told me, "I learned to love myself," and even paid me for it. It was a shocking and first-time experience for me.
I was thrilled to contribute to others through what I can do, and it became the driving force in my life.
Through imaging people and painting, I discovered something: everyone's soul is truly beautiful. While there are differences in colors, I realized that everyone's life is precious and wonderful.
And I thought, "Imagine a world where people contribute joyfully and excitingly with their unique talents, shining brightly together. How beautiful such a world would be."
Currently, the world is facing numerous problems that require urgent solutions. To address these challenges, it's essential to first understand one's true essence and utilize one's abilities in society.
There's a quote by French fashion designer Coco Chanel that says, "Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself."
The third thing is to cherish time with loved ones. I've found richness in life when touched by people's warmth or when feeling love for my family. That is the treasure, and it's what gives me energy.
Choose how to spend the "life time" of the present moment with purpose. "Does this choice connect to my ideal future?" "What can I give to others?" "Who do I want to make happy?" Life is about shining together with loved ones. Cherish the limited, precious time. Take care of your heart's state.
Alfred Adler, the famous psychiatrist known for Adlerian psychology, said, "He who has not discovered the value of life wastes an hour."
Let's make our once-in-a-lifetime journey valuable. Know yourself, act, learn, and expand your possibilities. Let's start moving together now.
What kind of life do you want to live?
BE HAPPY！！！＆ALWAYS I LOVE YOU！！！
