we walk on hell,
gazing at flowers.

The image is a Japanese rendering of Christ. It is from a holy card, very old, printed in Osaka around the 1930s. It's very unique. I love the little poem by Kobayashi. To me, it means God stands between earth and hell, watching over us. The flowers are a sign of his presence.
