Gasigogi
Gasigogi is a strange fish.
The mother fish disappears after
laying her eggs as if she does
not care about her eggs. Then,
the father fish defends the
eggs and struggles against the
enemies. The father does not
even eat and sleep at all to
guard and take care of the eggs.
When the fries hatch their
eggs, they just go their ways
like their mom. The father is
left alone and put his head
between rocks and dies. This
peculiar Gasigogi always reminds
us our fathers and some sadness
just wells up within ourselves.
Oh, Gasigogi! Oh, my daddy!

A Lighthouse Keeper
It is hard to guard others,
but someone should do it. A
lighthouse is such a guardian
for ships on a tough sea. We
all know a lighthouse keeper
is a lonely person who should
let the light on. Like a light,
which is standing always there,
like a keeper who keeps the
lighthouse, a mother is always
there to love you. Have you
ever forget this eternal truth?
<A Lighthouse Keeper>
is a story about a son, who
takes care of his sick mother
suffered from senile dementia.
It's about 'a warm affection
among an ordinary family'. They
hated each other, they misunderstood
each other, but they are bound
with each other because they
are family. Especially mother's
love is always there towards
us, even though we are not aware
of it.
