I agree, in this piece one can almost hear the lonely winds of solutide
blow acorss the grey, desolate landscape while the sound of blood
purging from the geisha fills a tub enigmatically. One must assume this
represents her heartbreak/suicide, and the bombs signify the
relationship to the military. A kind of dreamier version than the play.
As far as the others I prefered the drawings.
