Girls long for spring to come while constant falling snow like plum blossoms embrace them.
Is there spring behind the cloud?
Four girls on panoramic mural are assimilated to Four Noble Ones.
The backdrops reflecting each characters and unbreakable snow flower are painted on the canvas.
Looking at sparkling white snowfield, the afterimage of scenery forms a shape in my mind. A plum blossoms in a heart of viewers when admiring a girl and treating her as a flower.
I hope the audience to feel girls’ eagerness for the spring which has not come yet, and share positive passion within them.

When snows, all the trees seem to be flowered.
How do I know which is real plum blossom to take?
