About the Artwork

I was making origami cranes for Yudai, who was in the hospital at the time. I was thinking of him. The value I am depicting is connecting with people, this is important.

Medium: Marker, paint

My family is extremely loud. I play video games and play with my neighborhood friends. I like hamburgers. I don’t like grapefruit. When I grow up, I want to make a world with no fighting.

 

Special Notes:
6.13.12 Letter # 22
Dear Friends of America,
The area where my family lives didn’t receive much damage, but I know someone lost their relatives. When the earthquake hit us, we were practicing music for the graduation. We heard the sound of “Ga,Ga” from the earth and suddenly earthquake hit us and the tremor lasted for a minute. There were people who started crying and were standing still. I was prepared, though. Many people lost lives in the Tsunami and still so many people are still missing. When I heard the news, I felt how useless I was. I really appreciate your letters. THANK YOU!!
Ryo Sasaki
