The second part of a video work filmed at Nakanoshima Rose Garden in Osaka. With Dvořák’s Serenade for Strings in E major, this video poem records the colors, light, and dignity of roses spreading through the heart of the city.

I visited Nakanoshima Rose Garden in Osaka.
Because there were too many photographs from that day, I divided the video work into two parts.
This is the second part.
The first part began with a splendid blue rock thrush that appeared in front of Osaka City Hall, and then entered the world of roses at Nakanoshima Rose Garden.
In this second part, I recorded even more fully the beauty of the many roses blooming in Nakanoshima Rose Garden.
The beauty of the roses on that day was exceptional.
Their colors, forms, and light were truly magnificent.
I was once again deeply moved that such a rich world of roses spreads out along the urban waterside of Nakanoshima.
The music consists of a recording available on YouTube.
Dvořák: Serenade for Strings in E major, Op.22.
Performed by Paavo Järvi and the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich.
Dvořák’s Serenade for Strings is bright, gentle, and filled with a sense of happiness.
The colors of roses.
The light of roses.
The dignity of roses.
And the beauty of nature spreading through the city.
I felt that this piece suited them very well as music that could receive all of them.
If the first part is a work that depicts the dignity and quiet afterglow of roses, this second part is a work that records the sense of happiness and breadth of the rose garden itself.
The roses of Nakanoshima.
The light of Osaka, the city of water.
The beauty of nature appearing in the heart of the city.
This video is a record of the joyful beauty of Nakanoshima Rose Garden that I saw.
