Introduction to the Works
"Art... can't be fully captured by words... Pa~
It's all about that feeling... Pu!"
Papuarus
“Papuarus” is a legendary Papu who defeated a hundred Otters on her own during the Thousand Year War and disappeared without a trace.
Papus praised her as a hero, but none have actually spoken with this legendary Papu.
According to her legend, she left a simple message, saying that she will return when the next Thousand Year War begins.
The Papu Scream
“The Papu Scream” depicts the thoughts of Papus right before they are to enlist in the Fruit Soldier Academy.
While Papus consider it an honor to enter the Fruit Soldier Academy to bonk the empty skulls of Otters, many experience a sense of momentary panic when they get close to the actual entry date.
The Papu who modeled for this piece told her commanding officer that there was not a single day she wanted to run away and claimed that the last few days before enlisting were the days she was most proud of.
Papuai Statue
“Papuai Statue” is a delicate piece manifesting the boldness of Papus hidden within their adorable appearance.
It depicts a Fruit Soldier on guard duty to show that Papus are not just cute.
However, the soldier who modeled for this piece was not happy about how long their face and nose were drawn in this piece.
Paputa Statue
“Paputa Statue” depicts a mother putting their child to sleep. Many praised it for its realistic depiction of Papu kindness.
Papus place great value in becoming good parents.
That said, the child in this piece was actually whining for food, not sleeping.
"These masterpieces! Queek! Are tuna points...
No, turning points in the history of Otter art! Queek!"
Morning Dried Corvina
“Morning Dried Corvina”>is a piece drawn by Kakuo while imagining the corvina one could catch in the seas of the Land of the Morning Light.
Kakuo heard that they are a delicacy, so he imagined them stored and saved for breakfast the following morning.
Many praised the piece saying that it captured the taste of the dried corvina, rather than its realistic appearance. It is said that many left their viewing smiling and drooling.
Drifting
“Drifting” is a piece drawn by Kakuo of Otters enjoying a sweet nap floating on the water.
It shows a quiet, peaceful day of Otters spending time together.
Otters made their way the water to spend an enjoyable time together after seeing this piece. Many praised the piece for emphasizing the value of a good nap.
A Fleeting Moment
“A Fleeting Moment” is the split second just before a fish bites the hook, captured as a painting by Kakuo.
You can feel the tense moment just before the fish makes the final move to swallow both bait and hook.
All Otters viewed this piece with clenched paws.
