"In 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred and a nuclear power plant blew up. The pregnant women and children in Fukushima were exposed to radiation from the nuclear accident. These women are still suffering. One day as I was walking in town I suddenly had a flash of insight. A very large pregnant woman appeared before me from between two buildings. At the sight of this large figure, I felt a sense of liberation and overwhelming relief. The anger I had felt for so long but had nowhere to vent and the unease that rose up from the pit of my stomach suddenly became lighter. Thus were they born. The large women may tread on absurdity with the power to destroy the world. Even so, they do not misuse their power as do the powers that be. They turn their eyes toward the little ones and walk through the world unarmed. I look up to them and make sure of the road to follow. As long as they are in the world, the world will surely change for the better. This is my belief"
