“One day, in an old diary my mother had carefully kept for years, I came across the story of my near-drowning in a river at the age of four. In Japan, country roads are usually empty. Luckily, a man from a transportation company happened to be passing by at that precise moment and jumped into the river to save me. If that man hadn't seen me, I certainly wouldn't be here today. Reading that article brought back that long-forgotten memory. There are two specific parts I remember clearly: the moment just before I fell into the river and the man's face as he held me in his arms. I tried to thank him afterward, but unfortunately, I never had the chance to see him again. That's why I decided to turn that event into a tangible memory, so that I could regularly remember it and never forget it again. What about you, what would you do if you could no longer see the people you wanted to thank?” Tokyo Rumando
