I talked to Kasumi sensei today. |
I believe in Misato-chan, but I wanted to see what was actually going on. |
The sensei said that there is an art magazine in America with a painting by a Japanese artist very similar to Misato-chan’s. |
I didn’t want to see the magazine, but I wanted to make sure. |
The picture in the magazine and Misato-chan’s painting looked alike. |
They were more than alike. |
I could not tell the difference between the two. |
It seems that the Japanese artist who painted it was just a novice, and that it was the first time she won a prize for her artwork. |
I searched the Net about it when I got home. |
When I got home, I dug around on the Web and found out that his father was a great artist. |
Misato-chan would never plagiarize. |
Still, the paintings looked so similar. |
But I thought that Misato-chan did her work before this other person submitted hers to this magazine. |
I’m going to look into it and clear her name. |
Sensei said that people often come up with the same ideas at the same time. |
It was probably a coincidence. But she also said that there would be problems if it was openly declared. |
