Description From the children's series made in 1962. The strong black outlines and dark colors were reminiscent to those of Georges Rouault. But Kaoru's pictures had none of the religeous connotations or sadness. These children seem to involve in their innocent activities in the warm, dark and fuzzy dream in the past. "Uranai" (Divination). Three kids are playing with sticks for divination.
