Word and image

This picture and poem arose from my looking through a book on the kamikaze pilots used to defend Japan;  the desire to look was prompted by Gackt's World War II theme for his RnRII tour and by his own birth connexion with Okinawa, one of the decisive battle locations.  The book (by Albert Axell and Hideaki Kase) contained a surprising amount of poetry - popular, historical and original. And, of course, I soon found a suitable Gackt image to use.

*The idea of the current challenge is not to spend a lot, but to be creative with food, (as many members were sorry they could not enter the last challenge because they could not draw) and food is one of the best ways to make friends, ne? Don't forget that recipes should be added to your entry, even if it's as simple as cherry tomatoes, or crackers as sides!
