Mori Sosen ( 1747-1821) was a famous Japanese painter known best for his paintings of monkeys. I feel that this painting represents the love and care all mothers give to their children, but it can be dangerous when the baby is left unattended for only a minute. Notice how the baby is desperately trying to cling to his mother. Is there a hidden danger in the forest that could separate this little one from his mother permanently?
Today in a restaurant, I noticed a tiny Howler monkey wrapped around a man’s neck. Upon closer inspection, the baby monkey had lost or injured his eye. I asked the man if I could take a picture of the baby Howler and he gently unwrapped the monkey clinging tightly around his neck.
