My son, Taiyo was 9 when I made this image.
He grew up drinking lots of breast milk and has called me ‘Mama-Chichi’. ‘Chichi’ means both breast and breastmilk in the Japanese language. For him, ‘Mama’ and ‘Chichi’ means just the same thing, he says.
‘Mama-Chichi’, which used to be a nutritional supply station for his body, has now become one for his heart. Even when he has a bad day at school, he spends some time with ‘Mama-Chichi’ for skinship and runs outside again with full of energy.
