All the new works reflect her recent experience in Greece, where she stayed from 2008 to 2009 by the aid of the Japanese government scholarship.
In spite of the image of Greece with bright sunshine and blue sky, what she painted are, a stray dog at mid-night Plaka, or a half-sleeping pinkish pelican on the back alley of Nikos-Mykonos Island, or a big tree with the silent birds in the gray sky of Thissio, Athens, etc.
They appeal something unusual, almost surrealistic. Her imagination has been derived from the deep thoughts concerning the complex of time - past and present, night and day or death and life. Especially in Athens, surrounded by the ancient remains, she strongly felt the continuation of the lives from the ancient days to the present among the intimate Greek people.
She expresses this feeling by arranging two opposite elements, such as micro and macro, or distant and near, or old and young, in one painting. We can say that she is very successful to express the mysterious feeling of time in this way and we are guided to its labyrinth.
