Her concerns were rooted in a complex that she had since childhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI never had much confidence in my health. I always felt sorry for myself for being so frail. I had chronic conditions and was constantly taking this medicine, applying that ointment, and basically having to depend on something just to function from day to day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After graduating from university, Misa landed her dream job, but ill health forced her to take time off work. What Misa wanted was the expertise to protect her own health. As if in answer to her prayer, she discovered herbal medicine, or phytotherapy. The best defense is a good offense\u2014at last, she was armed to guard herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"692\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/00000012-1024x692.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-82052\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/00000012-1024x692.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/00000012-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/00000012-768x519.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/00000012-1536x1038.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/00000012.jpg 1818w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI believed that good health was the key to boosting my confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Misa\u2019s resolve to make a lifelong career out of phytotherapy became even firmer after her fieldwork in France, which she later came to see as her life\u2019s journey. The women she met during that unforgettable trip came to serve as her role model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll the women I met were resilient and strong. And they had willpower\u2014they embraced the irony that with freedom comes responsibility. My experiences during that trip taught me about the coexistence of strength and softness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Misa\u2019s goal became to emulate their mindset and lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/S__11673604_0-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-82056\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/S__11673604_0-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/S__11673604_0-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/S__11673604_0-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/S__11673604_0-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/S__11673604_0.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How to go about doing that? To Misa, the answer was simple and clear. Design her whole life around plants and herbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI love exploring the relationship between people and plants. I also feel that plants act as a filter between me and others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From then on, Misa has come up with creative ways to transform plants into various mediums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a fieldwork project for connecting with nature, for example, she walked through a forest in Kyoto gathering moss and hinoki cypress, and used her harvest to produce a tea blend. Here, the plants served as an object of admiration and as a medium for dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In another project focusing more closely on visual expression,&nbsp;she followed the signs of human life along a waterway winding through the mountain, and sublimated the experience into pieces of art. By highlighting the presence of plants and water, she elevated those elements that might be taken for granted into objects that grab the viewer\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/\u00a9\ufe0eTomohiro-Mazawa-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-82060\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/\u00a9\ufe0eTomohiro-Mazawa-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/\u00a9\ufe0eTomohiro-Mazawa-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/\u00a9\ufe0eTomohiro-Mazawa-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/\u00a9\ufe0eTomohiro-Mazawa-2.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Piece of Water Vein \/ artwork created for Mind Trail Okuyamato: Museum In Your Mind 2023<br>photo by Tomohiro Mazawa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/\u00a9\ufe0eDaisuke-Takashige_1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-82064\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/\u00a9\ufe0eDaisuke-Takashige_1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/\u00a9\ufe0eDaisuke-Takashige_1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/\u00a9\ufe0eDaisuke-Takashige_1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/\u00a9\ufe0eDaisuke-Takashige_1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/\u00a9\ufe0eDaisuke-Takashige_1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Foncha Collection 01 \/ Wind and the Willow<br>photo by Daisuke Takashige<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBlending and preparing tea is one means of drawing on the power of plants, and it makes up a significant part of who I am. But I don\u2019t want to be defined by that practice alone. There are facets of herbs and phytotherapy that can\u2019t be described with words, and lately I\u2019ve been nurturing a desire to use those facets as mediums of expression too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fact that Misa is alive means her feelings, her surroundings, and her means of expression will continue to change. As she hones her skills and tries out different options, she wants to stay open to the new senses of inspiration that develop within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy original concept for Verseau was to be true to myself.

That is, she is always in pursuit of tailored therapies for alleviating discomfort, and searching for coexistence of strength and weakness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It comes as no surprise then that her latest project is an art festival for which she is creating a piece of performance art that&nbsp;<em>doesn\u2019t<\/em>&nbsp;use plants as a medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She is set to unveil a cuddly oval piece of pottery provisionally titled HUGG. This medium will be warmed and presented with an invitation for the viewer to give it a hug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhether it\u2019s with another person or with an object, hugging produces a special warmth between the two of you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That cozy feeling isn\u2019t only yours or only your hugger\u2019s, but it exists between you. I have a theory that we humans are capable of generating a sense of safety and peace. It\u2019s just that we aren\u2019t paying enough attention to notice it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But once we recognize and appreciate that warmth between two huggers, we might be kinder to one another and bring more peace in the world. That\u2019s my big dream behind the HUGG.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_1646-1024x679.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-82080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_1646-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_1646-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_1646-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_1646-1536x1019.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_1646.jpg 1544w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I admire Misa for forever trying to share her love with the world. I tell her so, and she smiles: \u201cI\u2019m quite the philanthropist, aren\u2019t I?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By now, Misa is more than a phytotherapist. Never tied down by anyone or anything, she changes each time I see her. She may be troubled or worried at any given time, but in the end, she stays true to herself in the choices that she makes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith freedom comes responsibility,\u201d she reminds me.
