Comment: This is a work that shows that every character is written with great care. I especially feel a strong desire to help people. Why is trust necessary? Is it for yourself? Is it for people? At first it may be for people. But in the end it will come back to you. But if the beginning collapses, there will be nothing left. In any case, I think they want to emphasize that the first condition is to have a child who can earn the trust of other people.
When you display this work in your room, you will feel dignified in your heart. I feel like I can cherish every day with honesty and sincerity in the back of my mind. Please consider it as part of your interior design.
Why did you write this work at this time? There is a proverb in Japan that says that even thieves are busy during the New Year holidays. That's probably why I wanted to emphasize the word trust this New Year. I want this to be a year in which we can earn your trust.
