"Fall in love, maidens—before the crimson bloom fades..."
A reminder from "Gondola no Uta," the timeless poem featured in Kurosawa’s 'Ikiru.' Transience, youth, and the beauty of the moment live in every line.

At the end of all days, only what we carry within remains—memories, regrets, perhaps peace. The statue, bowed under the weight of time, seems to rest within itself, silently accepting the course of life. The roses, delicate and fleeting, remind us that beauty exists even in decay. Transience and permanence united in a quiet moment between stone and bloom.

Am Ende aller Tage bleibt nur das, was wir in uns tragen – Erinnerungen, Reue, vielleicht Frieden. Die Statue, gebeugt von der Last der Zeit, scheint in sich zu ruhen, als würde sie den Lauf des Lebens still akzeptieren. Die Rosen, zart und vergänglich, erinnern daran, dass selbst im Verfall Schönheit existiert. Vergänglichkeit und Beständigkeit vereint in einem stillen Moment zwischen Stein und Blüte.
