Bad mouthing

I use the image of a carving installed at Nikko Tosho-gu temple in Jp. The carving includes three monkeys, no see one, no hear one, and no speak one.

ウイルスの日々猿さえも悪口は控える
日光東照宮の「見ざる言わざる聞かざる」の猿を使いました。

ウィルスの日々腕なしの熱い抱擁を

Stay at home 7--time to make stronger the family tie

At the time like now, everyone needs something to look forward too.
先の見えないご時世ですから、せめて先の収穫を楽しみに野菜の種を蒔きました。

Stay at home 5

I read an online news reporting that pet cats have gotten infected by covid-19. They may have contracted the virus from their infected owner. So, staying at home is not entirely safe, but much safer than to just roaming on the street.

Cruse ship called "The Earth"

Cruse ship "The Earth" is sailing on in the starry space, and we are the passengers and the crews at the same time. We must manage well its operation so that the lives on the ship can go on.
「地球」という名のクルーズ船が星空に浮かんでいます。私たちはその乗船客であり、乗組員です。安全な航海を可能にし船上の生命が続くよう努力するのです。

Hang in there, folks

I included a faint outline of Mt. Fuji. This painting is meant for Japanese folks, and of course, for all those facing virus ordeal now around the world. Hang in there, folks!! Together, we will bring down the rising curve line.

Fight virus logo

I designed the inside out shape of C0VID-19 virus. The logo shows the united state of hearts.

Cleansing of mind

COVID-19 is rampant all over the world. There is no vaccine and medicine to cope with it now, and the fact makes us all worry.

What we as individuals can do at this point is to maintain normal immune system of our body. To do that, sleeping well, eating well, and resting well are recommended. Ample exercise helps, too. And there is one more important thing.

It is the state of our mind. When we harbor negative feeling in mind, it becomes stress, and the stress diminishes the immune power. So try restrain from falling into negative feelings. Try cleanse the negative mind.

The negative feeling is basically self-centered thoughts. Try to direct your thought to the others. Then your mind will be like clear blue sky, free of unnecessary stress, and your immune power remains strong, which will keep you going even if you get infected.

Drone

This haiga is based on the news that drones are flying over Hawaii beach to warn people not to stay too long on the beach. Just swim and go home. Island style virus warning.

Stay at home

Stay at home, and be considerate of each other. If you have religious faith, now is the time to practice it at home. God is at the holy place as well as at your home.
