"the earth that we live in has endured numerous insults, but continues to express its charm that we cannot fully appreciate. even if you mourn the destruction of the environment in the daytime, when you see the golden sun sinking in the shadow of the horizon at sunset, your entire body will be overcome with its beauty. my heart is pounding in view of the setting sun, and i naturally feel gratitude, people who are absorbed in everything are happy. being fascinated by the existence of this world is a sign of living. hermès respects nature and wishes to serve it. there is no end to the quest for natural beauty. in the spring of 2001, i decided to visit various places in search of new discoveries. the earth is always by our side. many artists have used imposing techniques to express the beauty of nature. kamisaka sekka (1866 - 1942) is one of them. please enjoy the talent of this japanese painter in the first few pages of this issue. we hope that you will join us this year on your journey to hermès, which is sober but full of excitement." (translated from japanese)
