Other than humans, does anything else, including animals, plants, and inorganic matter, have a “soul”?

I have no way of knowing it, and I strongly think it would be nice if I had one.

Don't often feel a “soul” in an illustration generated by AI in just a few seconds, like an empty can falling around there

I felt tremendous eyesight from Komainu-san at the shrine

There are toys and wet things that I can't throw away even though I'm a blowball

Even though I can watch it anytime and anywhere on the internet

I actually wanted to go to that place, and I wanted to see the real thing...

They don't have a heart beating like humans, they don't inhale and exhale, and they don't talk.

I just feel like I'm “alive.”

Something that makes you feel like a “soul” dwells in it.

Just in this world where digital, AI, online, and reality are becoming obscured, etc.

There is a soul in things that have been carefully made and treated with love and sincerity,

I'm sure it will continue to be left in the future.

My job, to put it bluntly, is drawing pictures,

I think I'm also working on putting my soul into my work and everything that appears in my work.

From now on, I want to continue making things that touch the soul.
