"乾の剣" — Sword of "Ken"

A note from director Nakamura Kenji:

"He has a habit of having one shoulder exposed whenever the "Shape" is revealed. He is quite aloof and loquacious before the events unfold, but suddenly changes demeanour to a more serious/sharp one when the Mononoke appears.

"The sword features a vulture motif, possessing a great ability of foreseeing and seeing through things.

🏕️ Many people think the war is over, but for us, it hasn't. It may have disappeared from the news screens, but the truth is that the danger persists, displacement and forced migration are still a part of our lives, and fear is our constant companion.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 I cannot go to work or provide for my family's needs because I stay in the tent to protect and care for my children in these difficult circumstances.

🍼 My youngest daughter desperately needs milk. 👶 She also needs diapers and clothes. 💔 I am unable to provide these basic necessities for her.

🙏 I am writing these words and appealing to anyone who can help. Any support, no matter how small, can make a huge difference in my children's lives and give us hope during these difficult times.

🤲 We ask for nothing more than the opportunity to live with dignity and provide for our children's basic needs.

❤️ A heartfelt thank you to everyone who reads, shares, or offers any kind of support. Every little bit of help means the world to us..

This is our tattered tent.
