Ganbare Nippon

For the people of Japan
Submission for Illustration Rally 'Ganbare Nippon'
Tancho Koi


There is another word to describe "love" which is "koi".

The Japanese koi is associated with perseverance in adversity and strength of purpose.
Because of its strength and determination to overcome obstacles, it stands for courage

Symbolic ...in the Buddhism to represent courage. Humans "swim" through the "ocean of suffering" without fear,
just like a fish swims through water
