Too Big for Children

"We did what artists should do", said a young girl member of "Chim-Pom", the self-professed artists' group who is said to have added a graffiti on Taro Okamoto's wall painting at Shibuya, Tokyo.
The group pasted the Taro-style-mimicking parts which remind people of broken reactors of Fukushima on the wall painting, "Legend of Tomorrow", one of Taro's masterpieces. Fortunately the group members seem to respect Taro and his work, a great artist, so that the precious work was not hurt by the prank.
"I recognize they have done it as guerrilla instant histrionics obviously in an artistic context", the superintendent in Taro Okamoto Museum said calmly. "However nothing new to be praised is found from their cheap work".
Taro might be too big to play with such children.
