Yamato and me

I have many Canadian relatives because one of my Japanese family emigrated to Canada a long time ago.

Ben is one of my Canadian cousins. He is a physicist and he is really into Japanese comics. The pic on today's blog is Ben's painting. He does oil painting and It's really cool.
He gave it to me as a Christmas present. He told me Riri and Yamato space ship are there. It's awesome.

I got an email from him.

There is some information about it. The web site only avalable for Japanese.

But it is like a Hollywood movie. hmm, it could be a very bad movie. It remains me of "memory of a geisha". I'm interested in the cast.
