Yoko Ono

I'm not sure if this is how you do it, but John was insisting on me getting this platform. Hopefully I do it right. Ask away, I'd be delighted to answer your questions!

Things to know before you start asking...

Yoko is with John in this blog, and he's finally here! @ask-olderjohnlennon send him asks!

Please refrain from sending anything rude. I am a very sensitive human being.

Thank you to @blackbirdatdawn for the lovely divders.

mod under the cut

I simply adore your instruction pieces like 'Painting for the Wind' and 'Painting to be Constructed in your Head'. I hope it is not too much to ask, but could you come up with a short one in your reply? I would love it and I think other people would find it interesting too!

-one of your fans <3

Hello my love!

This is just the sweetest message to receive, it really makes my day to see someone interested in my art.

But I hate to disappoint, but I can't say I can conjure one up right now. It's been a long day.

Oh, well. You're certainly educated in our archives!

Hello there, Anon!

Yes, John and I are good friends with Andy. He's lovely.

And, yes. I've been to the factory, in 1965, if I remember correctly, with my then-husband, Tony. But my memory may be failing me, and the fans seem to know better about me than myself.

whatever you're comfortable with booooooiiii

Awh you're so sweet Anon!

Here. I'll give you a kiss.

Yes, he does! And it makes me light up with joy talking about it.

Before we went to Japan in 1976, he took a crash-course, and then he later attended a Japanese language school here in New York.

anyways is it true that everyone is bisexual? including john

Hello Anon! Thank you dearly for your kind words, they mean the world to me.

And, in answer to your question, in my philosophy, I believe that we are attracted to beauty where we see it, no matter the gender the beauty conforms to, so yes, we would all be bisexual.

But my mom sucks a bit

You’re a cool mom

And like a kind mom

Seeing you be like

A nice person

and a good mom makes me feel a bit better about not having as nice a mom if that makes sense.

Good job, teenagers officially think you’re cool yay

Oh my dear, this absolutely made my day, and at the same time, broke my heart.

First, I am infinitely sorry that you do not have the best relationship with your mother. From when we are a little, it is a connection vital to our growth. This ask means so much to me- seeing as though I did not have a great relationship with my mother, either.

And I thank you deeply for the kind words. Though sometimes it's a struggle, I try my best to be a good mother, for Sean, for Kyoko, and anyone who happens to need it.

And I'm glad teens think I'm cool! That's all the approval I need.
