Comment on This Hunger Shall Not Be Satisfied (Futakuchi-Onna) by maqui

The version I am familiar with is that a penny pinching man found an ideal wife who said she did not need to eat, only to find that she had another hidden mouth. Another version is that a mother-in-law was too “Kechi.”
Considering such folktales were told maily by mother to her children, I can see another aspect for Futakuchi-onna, retaliation.

Rest assured, as I know your wife, who kindly let me know this website with many stimulating entries, does not has any hidden mouth.
I would very much like to have an opportunity to see your artworks with my own eyes!

AWESOME SAUCE, so cool to finally see the dragon…although the implications of earth quake and tsunami are, phoo, radical, evident and somehow draconian representations in this piece. Love it! Super, articulate blog post, too.
Peace in 2012,
Bridget

Beautiful as always. I think you did a great job in creating a different impression from what might be the obvious connotations of the word. I love your use of wood also, it really compliments the paper cuts.

Happy Holidays.
