Artist's commentary
Letter
Hello, this is Miwa.
When I heard that the theme this time was to be 'the future' I worried about what to draw for several weeks. What did imagine when I thought of the future? A faint light illuminating the darkness, a lamp, a lighthouse, the dawn sky, a graduation ceremony, an unresolved fear
or excitement? I just could not make up my mind. Then it suddenly occurred to me, a letter represents a present from the past to the future and so I decided that my subject this time would be 'a letter.'
Even today, when email, Line and other electronic media have become the main form of communication, I sometimes receive a letter or greeting card from a friend or fan and it never ceases to delight me. The handwriting and the choice of writing paper say a lot about a person and I think that this makes up part of the enjoyment of receiving letters, so thank you all.
I have drawn my trademark character, Kokoro-chan, dressing her in a costume with a more contemporary feel than usual. The concept behind the picture is that she is a postal worker who spends her time delivering letters, but this shows the moment when she receives a letter of her own and overflows with emotion. The flowers in the background are
evening primroses, and one of their meanings in the language of flowers is 'faint love.'
