With the sweetness of its sandalwood, Hikamura paints a picture of a controlled forest: it looks as though someone is taking care of it to preserve its magic.

Its trees are sturdy and close together: as you walk through them, the scent of their bark mixes with that of fresh earth to give you a beautiful and natural experience.

The trunks gradually separate and we reach a clearing where we nd something unexpected:

A jasmine.

A single one: luminous, exuberant, bright… reigning in that space as if it were a treasure, as if it were a sacred flower that carries a message for us.

Just as a harsh environment makes the sight of a lotus more beautiful, we feel the delicate, floral freshness of Hikamura’s jasmine background stronger because we reached it from the forest’s depths.
