A Japanese American woman sits beneath a full moon, sometimes the Moon is the pink flower Moon of Buddha. And there are temples in Japan dedicated to Mainekineko, Neko means cat.
But here in the United States cultural erasure has taken over her youth and adulthood. Full moons mean witches, cats also called "(n.) familiars" in Western language and lore.
It's an unfamiliar feeling where familiars are cats yet viewed more like yokai in Japanese culture - Rather than Mainekineko.
And they assert that she is a hippie because of her spirituality that uses incense a common tradition from Japan. And they erase her identity day by day, conversation by conversation, and dominate her identity because no one wants to hear her speak. They want the silent, subservient, slaaave and the community has enabled what she endures as erasure.
What AI says this is:
A young woman in a vibrant orange kimono sits serenely against a golden moon. Surrounding her are fierce, shadowy black cats, creating a striking contrast in this mystical scene.
