Usagi-chan – Cartoons (2008/09)

Kenkyusei (postgraduate research) project Cartoon Class on ‘Usagi-chan – the role of woman in Japan’ at Seika University of Art, Kyoto, in the Manga Department, 2008/09;
ink on paper, 27 cm x 35 cm /10.6 in x 13.8 in.

The drawings show various female figures wearing bunny-ears as a symbol for female assumed or actual submissiveness, as well as human naivety and false hope, but also courage and strength, that can be combined with each other.

[* SOLD to private collector; this is one sale I honestly very much regret, but it’s too late now, gone is gone.]
