What Is Collection「30 Words in Ink」?
30 Words in Ink is a collection of thirty words born from the works I have written in ink over the years.
Stillness. Love. Path. Future.
Connections with others. Decisions.
The workings of nature.
And the time it took to return to my true self.
Each word carries the traces of my heart
that could only be gathered at that particular moment.
These thirty words are a record of my commitment
to remain true to myself.
They are also the quiet journey through which the philosophy of Nagiho gradually took shape.
Gathering words.
Writing them in ink.
Quietly placing them.
Through this accumulation,
30 Words in Ink became the first precious collection
in which the world of Nagiho took form.

墨で綴る30の言葉とは
30 Words in Inkは
これまで墨で綴ってきた作品から生まれた
30の言葉による作品集です。
静寂、愛、道、未来。
人とのつながり、決断、自然の営み。
そして、本来の私へと還るまでの時間。
ひとつひとつの言葉には
その時にしか掬うことのできなかった
心の軌跡が宿っています。
30の言葉は
私が自分に誠実であろうとした記録であり
凪穂という哲学が形となっていく
静かな歩みでもあります。
言葉を掬い、 墨で綴り、 そっと置く。
その積み重ねによって生まれた
30 Words in Inkは
凪穂という世界観が
最初にひとつの形となった大切な作品集です。

Why 30 Words？
Thirty words are the words
I gathered from my heart as I lived each day,
wove together,
and wrote in ink.
They are a record of my emotions.
When the thirty words were placed together,
a landscape that could not be seen
through a single word alone appeared.
The passage of time,
the changes within my heart,
and the world of Nagiho gradually revealed themselves.
Each word holds the emotions,
decisions,
prayers,
and hopes for the future,
preserved with the very warmth
they carried at that moment.
30 Words in Ink is
the path back to my true self.
It is the record of the philosophy of Nagiho
beginning to breathe as a body of work.

The Collection
Vol. 1 - Vol. 6
30 Words in Ink is composed of six distinct flows,
from Vol.1 through Vol.6.
It begins with a journey of the heart,
then moves into the traces of the heart.
It expands into stories with others,
releases possibility,
and returns to the workings of nature.
And finally,
the world of Nagiho
revealed itself in a single form.
Each volume holds words and moments
that could only have been gathered at that particular time.
Although each of the thirty words is an independent work,
when placed together, they form a single journey.
This collection quietly reflects
the way I sought to remain true to myself
and the process through which the philosophy of
Nagiho was nurtured.
