Searching for God's whereabouts

In Japan, both the Japanese wolf and the Hokkaido wolf are now extinct, but in some areas wolves were also objects of worship. I wonder if we would be able to have the same feelings and thoughts of fear and respect as people in the past, and to build a faith in wolves if they were to appear before us again.

On the other hand, the pine tree is also considered to be the abode of gods. I have been thinking about what kind of god it would be if I were to welcome some kind of god into a pine tree, and have created several works that combine wolves and pine trees.

Searching for God's whereabouts

In Japan, both the Japanese wolf and the Hokkaido wolf are now extinct, but in some areas wolves were still objects of worship. If wolves were to appear before our eyes again, would we be able to have the same feelings of fear and respect as people of the past, and would we be able to form a faith in them?

On the other hand, the pine is regarded as Iyo of God. I produce the work which put a wolf and a pine together while thinking what kind of God will be received to a pine.
