Takehiko Inoue, creator of the manga Slam Dunk and Vagabond, drew a series of art pieces over six hours to offer his prayers for Japan after the March 11 Tōhoku Chihō Taiheiyō-oki Jishin (東北地方太平洋沖地震, literally "Tōhoku region Pacific Ocean offshore earthquake") and subsequent tsunami waves.
Using an iOS app called Zen Brush, Inoue had previously drawn 33 "Smile" art pieces and posted them on Twitter between December 22, 2010 and February 22, 2011. However, the recent events in Japan prompted Inoue to draw over 27 more "Smile" art pieces in a matter of hours.
Here are 18 more smile-prayers for the people of the Tōhoku region, and for all of humanity and for sentient beings everywhere.
Update: Inoue's art is apparently part of a larger Draw For Japan movement. On Sunday, two days after the earthquake, the light-novel artist Noizi Ito posted a picture of her "Brigade Leader" character Haruhi offering prayers.
