Memoirs
Memoirs of a Japanese War Bride Art print
From 1944 to the early 50’s thousands of Japanese women fell in love with servicemen, married and started new lives in alien countries.
It must have been an incredible struggle to leave their extended families, friends, country and merge into new cultures.
This started out as a full length Geisha dancing but somewhere along the way this concept just grew of it’s own accord, funny how that happens;)

Beautiful, Beautiful composition! Love the juxtaposition of the letter to the face, so true of the hardship of this women, they were shunned by the soldiers who had wives back home (sometimes) and their own friends and families who (sometimes ) objected to their mixed race children.
