Artist's Comments

I'm not really sure about Halloween, but I heard that Halloween is one of the liminal times of the year when spirits can make contact with the physical world. I thought it's similar to O-bon.
O-bon is a Japanese Buddhist holiday to honor the departed (deceased) spirits of one's ancestors.
So I came up with this idea:)

Sakan san~ haven't see you on DA for long!

Chinese also have "ghost day" that called Qing Ming. But not as entertaining as Holloween or O-bon, everyone have to be (or pretent to be) sad for their family members who passed away....orz

Creepy in its weird way.

But very well drawn, nonetheless.

Hell must be swell spot, because the guys that invented religion have sure been trying hard to keep everybody else out

Halloween actually came to America from Irish immigrants. O' Hallo's Eve; it was actually a harvest festival that was to celebrate the end of the year and the beginning of a new one. Samhein night (what we call Halloween now) was the time that people stayed home and left whiskey and food offerings out on the front step for departed souls. Trick or Treating started in old England where people who had little food would go door to door on O' Hallo's Eve and gather Soul Cakes from more fortunate people. These cakes were eaten as a sort of prayer for the dead.

I don't know much about O-bon, but I know that Halloween is very much a tradition throughout the USA.

And as for the picture, it's kind of sad to be honest. I just want to hug them all...

One Day I went up the stairs;
And I met a man who wasn't there;
He wasn't there again today;
Oh how I wish, I wish he would go away.
