The question from Mr. Michelle
kanji symbol described to a picture.
I updated two pages today.
Yesterday, Such an email came to me.
Your English is very good! [About this part, I am ashamed of my poor English. But I thank you for this encouragement very much.]
I wish I could say the same about my Japanese.
I found your web site while researching a painting.
I found you through a google search of Japanese paintings, and I read your whole site
I am happy to hear that your country is doing well in its treatment of homosexuals.
My daughter is in her first relationship with a girl, and a lover of all things Japanese.
She wants to visit Japan, and I'd be happy to see her able to go.
I am hoping that you may be able to tell me what the signature on this painting says.
I noticed that it is similar to the wall on your bath house photo, and I can't seem to find anybody that can read it.
I'm including a link to photo bucket, which has a close up of the signature.
Thanks so much!

Thank you very much for all reading the page of my site.
I was deeply very moved.
I made the explanation in the image because the explanation by sentences is difficult.
Look at, please.
The people who take the ship drawn in this picture might be "Ama".
Since I am not a specialist of a picture, affirmation is impossible.
But, I can suppose that the wearing clothes of these people is it of "ama".
I talk about homosexuality a little last.
Japanese people are not negative to a homosexual. But, it is comparatively recent.
The activity of the people of a gay called "okama" in the Japanese TV program seems to have changed the way of thinking of Japanese people.
To some years ago, Japanese people had prejudice to the homosexual. But about a gay, it is OK. Japanese people have accepted the gay.
I have one worry.
It is that "a lesbian" does not yet appear on a Japanese TV program.
So, I pray for the early recognition by Japanese people about the lesbian.
