Further images
Her world is filled with the beautiful landscape and has neither the clear beginning nor end. The world, which composed of the banquet of vivid colors, would be music rather than a picture; moreover, "the sound of the sea of the universe" rather than music.
The light in her world is filled with happiness, constantly produces the beautiful shade and returns again to the light far from the original one. This is a petite miracle woven from the light and the wind. When you gaze at the painting, supposedly, you will feel that a gentle touch and a living tremor rise up like air heated by the sunbeams through the trees. On the other hand, the painting will provide us with an image that petals are tempted toward the darkness by the bush of leaves or, if they refuse, are dragged into the depths. The image, that might be going to warp beyond the space-time, resembles closely the world seen with half an eye and exists in the boundary of dream and reality.
Provenance
The Japanese word nagare means a constant change or flow of time.
In Buddhism it is called impermanence and considered to be the basic reality or fundamental condition of existence.
There is a Japanese language “Hanaikada” which means a flowers’ raft. It is an elegant word that represents a bunch of flowing cherry petals as a raft. And, at the same time, the flow of full fluid water will provide us with a special sense able to perceive not only a refreshing feeling but also the early summer season.

Literature
"The thought, or imagination, is own but is not monopolized by Noriko Kurafuji. While it is the subject held in the arms of the great force, it also continues changing more and more. And it comes back to the heart of a person looking at her work. Such a circulation resembles the flow of the human life which is hardly explained. This circulating thought belongs to this artist but does not only to her. It resembles the wave of a life flowing inside of our body like the flow of the air on the earth, though we can’t usually realize it. Leaving daily experiences like joy and sadness, her thought is free among the thoughts in the genesis, and sometime a trip of her thought will reach the sacred light with a beautiful sound. It should be the splendid happiness for Noriko Kurafuji that a tale of her odyssey, which started here, is led by such a sacred eye. However, the wave of a life does not always give her only the best moment. The tale, with light and darkness, might be forced to keep silent for a while in the dead quiet, which lost light, and her tale will certainly find out again the light of stars, which will be shining whole in the sky, as well as the deep chaos."- Hideharu Ogawa / art Critic, Consultant of monthly “Gallery”, Poet
