Natto

Natto. It’s a Japanese fermented soybean dish typically served over rice. It’s brown, stinky, gooey and looks gross to westerners (totally understandable) but I absolutely love it. It’s super healthy too! Anybody else love natto?

As an exploration into my childhood, I’m illustrating icons, symbols, and cultural items that speak to what it is like growing up Japanese Asian American.
