When jellyfish is translated into Japanese kanji characters, there are several ways to mean : Sea moon, Water moon, Mother of water. It's profoundly interesting to imagine how the people of the old time saw them in the sea.
The organically constructed body and the constant movement of the tentacles, which are intertwined like threads, bring the diversity of life forms to the depths of our mind, never get tired of seeing it.
