From the Artist: My idea of the painting was inspired by my 3 year old son. “Koinobori” is a streamer that wishes for the health and prosperity of the children. I am a Japanese, grown up in Japan. Having Japanese traditions helped me to establish my life in America as a “foreigner”. My son was born in America, will grow up as a Japanese American. I imagine his experience of “having Japanese traditions” would be different from mine. He might face some discriminations and prejudice that I didn’t have to face as a foreigner. But I want him to know that part of him that growing as a Japanese will be his strength not the weakness in his life. And I am wishing he will live his life strong like a Koinobori streaming high in the sky.
