15.Tomoyo Ihaya is an artist whose work is too politically powerful and emotionally important to be tarnished by having association with a paper as silly as this; my comparisons are stretched for purposes of entertainment and curiosity only. I mean no offense by comparing art commemorating martyrs to guys punching each other in the face for our pleasure. But this world is violent and gorgeous and overwhelmingly eclectic, strange so connections are bound to happen, in the aim of parsing it all.
