It's 2022, Pandemic Go Away

 

Here is a photo of Carolyn's latest Kimekomi doll, an Amabie.   The four Japanese words on the left are the same as Chinese words, they translated into: "Diseases Recede Disappear".    It's 2022, we have been in the double pandemic of COVID and RHDV2 for two years.   Amabie says, "Pandemic Go Away!" 

Carolyn glamorized Amabie a bit and added the rabbit fabric in the back.

Legend has it that that the Amabie left a message - if a disease spreads, show people a picture of me and then disappeared into the sea.

 She is a mermaid with the beak of a bird. Nowadays in Japan, it has become popular to give an Amabie doll or show an illustration to friends and family with the hope that COVID will soon come to an end. 





  This photo shows what the original kit looked like. Carolyn's doll instructor kindly gifted the kit to each student wishing all to fend off diseases.
