Compared to most people who like to watch sci-fi or fantasy Japanese cartoons, I like to watch realistic genres. Japan is originally a delicate country, and because of its small size, every inch of land can be regulated. The garden landscape and interior decoration are all constructed according to the standards that can be entered into paintings, so many realistic pictures are put into cartoons, which are more clean and moving. In ancient times, there were Ukiyo-e, and now there are cartoons. For example, "The Soul of Chess", such as the one that depicts reality in Hayao Miyazaki's cartoons, such as this "The Garden of Words".

Not only space, but time in their worldview as well. The Garden of Words never tires of talking about the weather, the plum blossoms, the rain, the picture of large lead-colored dark clouds, the treetops blowing by the breeze, the crimson sunset chasing and disappearing, the wisps of sunlight leaking from the top of the pavilion, the sudden sudden The sound of rain and thunder, coupled with the haiku from the Manyo Collection, is a modern ukiyo-e. I am also a person who loves the weather, so I feel like a duck to water in such Ukiyo-e.



Xin Haicheng is a delicate person. Many pictures are no different from photography, and the chalk dust that has been sprinkled on the blackboard is clearly visible. The sophistication of the picture made me completely ignore the plot that can only be described as vague, and I even felt that this kind of plot was best matched with such a picture that came out slowly like a flowing water. Two ordinary men and women have an ordinary life, but because of their encounter, they add some bright colors. Even if they drift away in the end, they will not regret it. Is it just like in the dull weather of the four seasons, it occasionally appears The torrential rain that is as bright as day and the roar of thunder can keep you who are about to return?
