Abstract

Media from around the world raved, "A warm story spread over a single leaf, soothing to the soul!"
Leaf cutouts photographed through the sky. The exquisiteness of the work is astonishing, but it is also a story that stirs the viewer's heart and evokes the imagination, spread out on a single small leaf. ...... That is Rito's leaf cutouts.

Almost every day when Rito presents his work on SNS, he receives many comments such as, "The gentle world heals me," "Just looking at it makes me happy," and "It makes me want to do my best again tomorrow.

When I am depressed. When I feel depressed, when my mind is boggled, when I feel sad. Each leaf cutout is like a picture book, and you will find your own story every time you turn the page.

The book contains 89 works, all with newly written stories, even those that had only titles when they were posted on SNS.
