Message from Yuri Himuro
During the stay-home period, I was mostly at home except for shopping for necessities.
I spent most of my time sitting on a chair in the living room, which was my regular place, working or reading books, and I often gazed blankly at the houseplants I was growing.
When I watered the plant, the leaves would grow taut, and in the time that seemed to have come to a standstill during the self-restraint, such small changes were a small comfort.
I wished I had bought more plants...When I was thinking about this, I suddenly remembered a dream I had when I was a child: a jungle in my house.
It was to turn my house into a jungle.
Back then, I had a small child's room with a few small flowerpots the size of my palm lined up on the floor, and I dreamed of living surrounded by many plants when I grew up.
Now I have one plant at home that is as tall as my shoulders and three tabletop plants.
Considering the space in my house, it would be difficult to add more flowerpots even if I could open a stay home... I painted this wallpaper with the image of a room surrounded by the plants I had envisioned at the time.
I would be happy if this wallpaper could create an exciting and relaxing space surrounded by plants.
