Oshii Mamoru & his Basset Hound

My kennel has become a sponsor of charity action organized by Japonica Creativa to help rebuild Japanese city Kesennuma in Miyagi prefecture. The city was devastated by tsunami in March 2011.
We'd like to thank Mr Oshii Mamoru who helped us a lot preparing for this occasion five illustrations. Oshii Mamoru is famous mostly for 'AVALON', 'PATLABOR' or 'GHOST IN THE SHELL'.

All the illustrations are attached by motto 'Ungai sōten' 雲外蒼天, which means: 'Behind the clouds there's clear sky'...
