おふくろに乾杯 ( OFUKURONIKANPAI ) is not a project, but it's just a sentence when we're drinking & hitting the glass. I drink it for my mother who has been left behind the problems I think I have with my father over the last 18 years. I always think about my father, but never think about my mother. I think about the problem I have with my father too much and misperceive that I don't have problems with my mother. So I turned the plan to seek for my mother here in Japan where I never come with her. I don't know if I can find her or not, but I'll try.
"It is the umbilical. It is the root between both sides.
Between a mother and her child.. between the root and its branches. If one were to disappear, the other too would cease to exist. For any tree not to know its roots, is impossible; for it to grow and spread its branches on its own."
