In Japan, which suffers from earthquakes more and more often than other states, there is one curious tradition known as Okurie … Tradition, or rather, an art project, is that residents decorate destroyed houses intended for demolition with frescoes and graffiti in order to give them a festive look at least for a while. One of these actions was provoked by the artist Yosuke tan, inviting everyone to participate in the painting of the college building in Iwaki Sogo, where he studied at one time, as well as thousands of others. Using 27 liters of paint, the former students covered the old building with handprints, which gradually formed into an amazing picture - a blossoming branch of delicate sakura. On the one hand, it is elegant and festive, because the building has changed, significantly prettier and even younger, and on the other hand, it is symbolic and a little sad, because it is customary to bring flowers not only for holidays, but also for funerals …
Hundreds of cherry blossoms appeared on the walls, doors and windows of the old building during the cold January, blossoming from the warm touch of the palms. One palm - one print, one touch of the wall - one delicate pink flower on a branch. It looked like a collective expression of heartfelt gratitude to the college, where the members of the art project spent most of their lives. Petal by petal, layer by layer, amateurs and artists have created a real branch of spring on the walls of the college, a symbol of beauty, inspiration and love, as if an abandoned building reflected the warmth of people who once gnawed the granite of science there.
