SHINYA TAMAI



Amabie, 2020

Ink, mineral pigment, dye on Japanese paper

8.9 x 6.2 x 0.7 inches (22.7 x 15.8 x 1.8 cm)

FROM THE ARTIST:  Amabie appears in old folklore as a yokai that can predict pandemics. It was also believed that people will be saved from calamities by looking upon it's recreated image. I hope we all can go back to living normal, peaceful lives soon.
