It's so good to see you back! I love this one. What a beautiful photo.
J. Andrew
Thank you! Good to see you!
I have a small collection
of occupied Japan figurines.
This floods the mind with MacArthur, and black and white WWII movies. Your art is so rich in image and thought provoking journeys!!

Thank you for making me read Douglas MacArturs' biography.
I've been thinking about this
haiga for quite a long time.
Two years ago I found out that
the plane that dropped a bomb
on Hiroshima was named Enola Gay
after the pilot's mother. For me
there was something unnerving about
a plane bearing the name of the
mother to cause such loss of life.
For me mother symbolizes the most
beautiful lifegiving force. And every time I look at my occupied Japan figurines I can not stop thinking what did they feel when they created them. So I had to express it in some way. Uf :)
So many have already said it - but on the other hand welcome back -
Now about this little masterpiece indeed well done.
Ashi
Thank you. I'm glad to be back. And thank you for being kind to my haiga. Your words mean a lot to me.
oh, a beautiful, moving haiga!
and thank you for explaining some backgrounds to this.
Polona
Thank you. Thoughts connected to this haiga were bugging me for quite some time.
I have never seen something quite like this! Natalia, well done!
Aurora
Thank you! Your new picture is so charming. Did you draw it yourself?
Natalia, the picture was drawn for me by Eric. Isn't it adorable?
It says so much
so much sadness and narrative in this one
Steve
Thank you!
Floots
Thank you! These little figurines do not let me forget those who made them. It is hard to express they make me both sad and proud for them. The figurines are so fragile and yet they endured for so long. In a way I feel responsible for them because they mean so much.
wow - evocative history
so less in word.. yet so much in expression...
It’s an exquisite effort Natalia...
Shane
