Zen took care of Hana and of all the housework. But when his health began to deteriorate, they both spent more and more days bedridden. Until winter 2008 when the two were taken to different hospitals by ambulance and they would never meet alive again.
From their love and life together only remains Koga Eriko’s series of photos.
....
Zen s’occupait de Hana et de la maison mais quand sa santé commença à se détériorer, le couple passa de plus en plus de temps alité. Jusqu’à l’hiver 2008 où ils furent emmenés dans deux hôpitaux différents et ne se révèrent plus de leur vivant.
De leur amour et de leur vie ne reste plus que la série de photos prises par Koga Eriko.

Hana and Zen were only two. No children, no relatives. In their small and spartiate tenement dated of World War Two, they welcomed Koga Eriko who captured their simple life. Having each other, they had everything.

Hana et Zen étaient seuls. Sans famille et sans enfant. Dans leur appartement exigüe et spartiate, datant de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, ils accueillirent Koga Eriko qui saisit leur vie frugale. Ils avaient tout puisqu’ils s’aimaient.
