Hearts Beating Fast

by Tae Takegami

From the rooster greeting dawn with a loud call, to the chrysalis about to become a butterfly, creatures everywhere are filled with a racing heartbeat. Each moment carries its own thrill, whether joyful or sorrowful — a reminder that to live is to feel, and to feel is to be alive. With bold woodcut prints and simple, heartfelt words, Tae Takegami offers a gentle yet powerful celebration of life’s vibrant energy, capturing the pulse of existence itself.
