The series is inspired by popular beliefs about predicting the weather.
In the modern age of meteorology, it is said that the weather forecast for the next day has an accuracy of about 80%, but when it comes to the forecast for 7 days later, it seems that the accuracy declines down to about 65%.
Fluctuations in the atmosphere caused by very small factors cause large changes in the weather, so it is very difficult to predict the weather over a long period of time, even with modern science, and weather , or the climate change continue to exist as spectacular phenomena that are strictly unpredictable by humans.
Looking at the past, Japan has had a wide variety of popular beliefs to predict this weather since ancient times.
In some cases, predictions are made based on natural phenomena such as the state of the sky and mountains, the way the wind blows and the way sounds are heard, and there is also a popular belief that the behavior of animals and insects is a sign of changes in the weather.
Many of these myths have little scientific basis and are rarely used as pragmatic wisdom in modern times, but many of the folklore beliefs of the era, when it was necessary to catch signs of change from all phenomena in the natural world, show us a part of the complex and dynamic causal relationships in the natural world that are rarely felt in modern real life.
In this work, the main motif is this popular belief about the weather in Japan, and by visualizing the image as a pictorial work, I aim to express the dynamic relationship between the natural world and the weather, which is still beyond the reach of humans and modern science.
In addition, weather and meteorology are not only phenomena that are difficult to predict in modern times, but also that they are changing due to human factors.
Environmental changes on a global scale due to global warming, heat islands, deforestation, etc., have long been cited as the cause of the increase in abnormal weather events.
It can be said that we have brought about further changes in the phenomenon of weather, which is difficult for humans to predict and control, through our own activities, and it can even be said that dealing with the theme of weather and meteorology is almost the same as dealing with the problems of modern human life and the environment.
Therefore, through the theme of weather and meteorology, this work aims to depict the existence of various causal relationships and connections in the natural world beyond human prediction, and to create an expression that will provide an opportunity to reconsider the human world from the natural world.
