​This work depicts s figure of a Buddhism god that Sisyu intuited with her third eye inside a cave in Thailand.
What appeared in her mind was blue lights in mouths, several heads and a dark color body of them.
It came from out the darkness and accelerated towards her.
And suddenly “a perfect globe” appeared from nothing in the empty room.

The prestigious monk to whom she talked about this image she saw taught her that it was “Naga,” the god with seven heads and one body.
In its mouths, it has “perfect globes.” The globes that dark color Naga has glow blue.

“Divine spirits, may protect me, may bless me.”

This phrase is chanted to pray for gods in shrines like “Amen” in Christianity.
The phrase originates from Japanese myth. In it, one god were managing the land to establish a nation (Japan) with his partner. However, he lost his parter halfway. Difficulties confronted him and he spoke out his feelings. At that time, the horizon started to glow and shining divine spirits came closer to him across the ocean. The spirits said they would help his nation-building if he enshrine the spirits. He followed their words and established Japan successfully.
Then this phrase became the words to pray for gods.
