Welcome to "Kinoko Dreams," a collection of Japanese artworks inspired by my adventures in the magical world of mushroom picking in Japan.

Imagine spending weekends in the autumn, not at home, but in the forests around Tokyo with my dad's work buddies. It seemed a bit strange at first – choosing colleagues over family during free time. But in Japan, work is more than just a job; it's like a second family, a big part of social life.

Our journeys took us to places like Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park and the Okutama region, where diverse flora, including lots of mushrooms, awaited. Together, we collected these little treasures as a way to bond, relax, and shake off stress.

While picking mushrooms, my friends shared captivating stories about Japanese myths tied to these fungi. One story stood out – the Matsutake myth. It's a pine mushroom symbolizing good fortune and happiness, especially during the beautiful autumn harvest season.

We also discovered other awesome mushrooms like Shiitake, Maitake, and Enoki. Each had its own story and importance, even in Japanese cooking. Recipes were shared, making our mushroom adventures not just about picking but also about creating delicious meals together.

All these incredible memories sparked the idea to turn my experiences into art. "Kinoko Dreams" is a way to share the joy, stories, and magic of mushrooms with you. These artworks, filled with love and nostalgia, will be released during NFT Paris with Bright Moments, inviting you to join the whimsical journey of "Kinoko Dreams."
