Artist's Comment

It is a so-called buddy relationship between a ogre girl and a human girl.
The girl gives sake to the ogre as a reward, and the relationship is businesslike.
The two works, "Dance Dedicated to Gods by Girl and Dragon" and this one, are based on similar themes, but it was pointed out to me that it is rare to have a "person" in a work who is not clearly a god.
Up until now, I have been making "girl statues" as illusory beings, but in the process of making such statues as dependents, I became more aware of the relationship between people and amulets (statues of gods).
I think such a change is one of the reasons why I created this work.
