【concept】
This work is a reconstruction of Renoir's flower works by adding ``Russell's Theory of Happiness'', one of the world's three major theories of happiness, as a theme.

[What is Russell's theory of happiness]
First of all, in order to be happy, we should avoid self-absorption, which is the cause of unhappiness. Self-absorption is when we become so focused on ourselves that we lose interest in those around us.
And in order to be happy, you should have outside interests and interests, and find a selfless and pure hobby.If you have fun doing something, you can change your mind even if something bad happens.
Another important thing is balance in everything.
What is particularly important is the balance between effort and resignation, and by having a hopeful resignation and sometimes abandoning effort, it is possible to continue to obtain happiness.
The idea is to understand the thoughts that should be abandoned and the thoughts that should be maintained from the two perspectives of unhappiness and happiness, and establish stable happiness through balance.
