These are the individual images from a mural I did for The Webb family. It is the basic Japanese Phonetic Alphabet ( called Hiragana ). Each symbol represents a single syllable. The Mural was painted on ten panels and extended around 3 walls of the Webbs daugters bedroom. The panels were detachable so the mural could move with the Webbs when they returned to Canada.
