あなたの作品のファンです。この漫画がきっかけで釣りを始めました。タイ語版は全巻揃えました。（タイ人は左から右に読むので、タイ語版は絵が逆さまになっています。）✨🙏🏼

“Unidentified Artists)
Firefighter's Coat (hikeshi-banten) with Hawk and Waves
early to mid-20th century
Japan
Cotton, plant dyes
This handmade firefighter's coat, made of layers of cotton stitched securely together, is displayed inside-out to reveal a hawk soaring above turbulent waves. Worn during a fire with its undecorated exterior facing out, the coat was saturated with water to protect the firefighter from flames and debris. Rather than using water to put out fires, late 19th- and early 20th-century Japanese firefighters demolished structures near a fire to prevent it from spreading. After extinguishing a fire, the heroic men turned their coats to display the decorated insides.
The firefighter who chose this design for his coat valued the protective power of water as well as the hawk's strength and keen vision.
Anonymous Gift, BMA 2024.374”

I guess because it looks cool, haha. Many overseas people really love the look of the Japanese suburbs.

Doing house chores, is it me leaving my mark on the space or is it the space that defines my identity and role?

A ghostly figure in the kitchen. The drawing focuses its hands holding a cup, while its face is cut off and its outline is disappearing into the background

A ghostly figure in the kitchen. The shape of the figure is defined by the dark background since the figure itself is the unrendered negative space in the composition
