“A Call for Help from the Past” is a work that uses dolls, a Japanese folk craft, as its motif. At first glance, the dolls are depicted in a cute shape, but behind them lies the tragic history of humanity. In the work, ghosts of the past are resurrected in the present and appeal to us for their suffering and sorrow.

This painting has the power to remind us of the weight of history that we tend to forget and to make us think about how past events affect the present. The tears of the ghosts are a cry for liberation, and appeal to us to the importance of living without forgetting the lessons of the past.

The work “A Call for Help from the Past” was created to encourage deep reflection in the viewer through a unique worldview where cuteness and sadness intersect. While feeling the weight of history, it asks how we should build the future.

I would be happy if you could decorate your living room or bedroom and contribute to the enrichment of your daily life.

Digital drawings were printed using a special printing method called giclee printing, which uses pigment ink instead of dye ink. The support is paper.

Since pigments are used, the work can be preserved for a long time.

The edition number is 1/1, so it is a one-of-a-kind piece. There is no identical work in the world. There is no decrease in value due to having multiple identical works.
The size of the work is A4 (210 x 297 mm).

Comes with a certificate that it is a giclee print. The certificate will be shipped in a frame.
Since it is pigment ink, the color of the work will be preserved for a long time, but if it is exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, it will still deteriorate.

Due to frame inventory, the type of frame may change at the time of shipping.
