What would you do if you saw an unidentified sea creature washed up on shore? Freak out!? Poke it with a stick? Talk to it? Draw it? 

​

During the early cholera pandemics, much like our Covid-19 pandemic, Japanese believe that just the sight of this creature could offer health (and a good harvest). The idea has been revived on social media (#yokaiamabie). Our students created these fine examples during quarantine with limited assistance and supplies. They wish you best of health and life!
