Onigiri

🍙 Onigiri. Japanese rice balls. I remember in elementary school I would get excited whenever my dad made me onigiri for lunch because I loved them! Maybe because it was different from my standard PB & J. They didn’t look like this but you get the idea.

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.
