水之神

WAmazing Inc. CEO Fumiko Kato

Artwork Description

Japan is overwhelmingly blessed with water resources compared to other countries in the world, and this is due to the fact that Japan is an island nation surrounded by the sea, and that 70% of the country is mountainous (the average mountainous rate for countries around the world is about 30%). Especially in winter, cold winds flowing in from the Siberian continent pick up water vapor over the Sea of ​​Japan, forming snow clouds that collide with the Alps, the backbone of Japan's volcanic archipelago, causing large amounts of natural snow to fall. In spring, the melting snow flows into the rice paddies at the foot of the mountains as fertilizer packed with minerals from the mountains, helping to grow delicious rice. Thunder, which is closely related to the dragon god, is written as "rain" and "rice field," and lightning is the "wife" of "rice." Delicious sake made from rice grown with delicious water, snow resorts blessed with abundant natural snow, and meltwater that seeps into the ground and springs up as hot springs after about 70 years. The number of inbound tourists attracted by Japan's rich tourism resources is now rapidly increasing. Many politicians and business leaders also worshipped at shrines that worship the dragon god, including many military commanders, Konosuke Matsushita, known as the god of business, Sazo Idemitsu, founder of Idemitsu Kosan, and Eisaku Sato, the Showa era prime minister who had a long reign. Tigers and horses that run on the ground face many obstacles no matter how fast they can gallop, but dragons can fly in the sky, regardless of obstacles, and can fly up, down, left and right freely, and can soar into the heavens with many people on their backs. "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." This is the African proverb, and at WAmazing, we also want to go far together!
