New Year 2012 Snow Globe
Himawari's Snow Globe isn't as fantastic as some people might show. Her life was simple back home and so there were simple images. Sometimes it showed her home, her room, or her street, a simple Japanese home that was very clean and orderly. Sometimes there was a picture of a piano with the sunlight coming in on a window. Nothing extraordinary but still a well loved instrument.
There are some images of her school from time to time. A small class room, the track and field, the lunch room or just the front of the school itself.
Sometimes a small park, not too far away from her home can be seen. Little stone figures of animals, a polished stone turtle slide, a sand box, or a blanket on the ground with food ready to eat. Sometimes you can see a blurry figure or two and sometimes you cant.
Shake it again and you might see a old little shop with a beautiful yard and wooden fence where her closest friend works with a lovely woman.
Or sometimes a old and well taken care of shrine where her friend was born and raised. Where she and her friends told stories and watched as supernatural things happened. Or images of the temple that her grandmother took her to as a young girl in order to find out if she was cursed or not.
Once in a while there is a not so lovely image. A fire of a house near her own, or an image of a blurry body laying in a pool of blood, but they are never clear and if she has any say they wont be there long, shaken away swiftly.
And once in a while you might see something really strange! Images that look like forests, or the ocean, or creatures near caves or figures that could be zombies on Halloween, or figures in a distance running through sakura trees with cat ears and tails, or images of 1000's of kittens flooding a city, or even a raging fire of a city. A calming picture or a stormy ocean on a drenched beach. A simple picture of a very large sword propped up against a thick twisted tree off the beaten path. A small apartment with a sheet of cookies on the counter, fresh from the oven. Images of an Island she was on before she appeared here. All of them less ordinary then her home life before.
