I think I am happy. By chance, I discovered something that allows me to continue growing until I die. Art, before I knew it, became less about building outwards and more about my interest in the infinite within. I even feel 'hope' in the fact that no matter how much I dig, I can't reach the bottom.

There is a city called Biella between Milan and Turin in Italy, and there is an institution called Idea University there. Diverse programs are always held there, and intellectuals from all over the world gather to work on workshops, conferences, creative activities, etc. I participated in the Idea University program in 2016.

There are various dishes, but many use beans. Lentils, chickpeas, cannellini beans, and so on (there are more). Cooking methods include paste, sauté, and more. Recently, I'm very grateful that I can buy quite obscure ingredients online.

This happened in San Diego, California, USA.
Before that, I lived in Japan for a short time. During that time, my mother-in-law became terminally ill, and we returned to Los Angeles, where my wife's family lives. Due to various sudden events, we returned to the US with NO PLAN.
