Mission

The word "kage" originally referred to "light" itself, or to shimmering, radiant light. Over time, it came to encompass not only the shadows born from light, but also the forms revealed by illumination. A shadow exists only because there is light. Perhaps the moments that linger in our hearts are also born where brightness and stillness converge. This time, the theme is (shadow). The long shadows stretching across the road at dusk, the gentle light swaying by the window. Scenes that calm the spirit like a shadow, or smiles that illuminate the heart like light. Was the "kage" that remains in your memory a softly shining light? Or was it a quiet shadow that stayed gently by your side? Interpret freely. We look forward to seeing the "kage" you have discovered—whether it sparkles brightly for the coming year or gently accompanies you. *Submissions that violate our guidelines ( https://www.cizucu.com/terms/guideline ) will not be considered by the curatorial jury. *Winners may be contacted by the cizucu team to confirm personal information such as address.
