Nice fantasy rendering by the artist of an early Miss Bardahl scheme, probably around 1958 or 1959 with an unusual tail fin that was later replaced with a more swept back shape. Shown racing against 2 other popular hydros of their day, Hawaii Kai III and the original Miss Thriftway, which was actually destroyed in the 1957 Indiana Governor's Cup. But the art still makes for a fanciful hydroplane fan's dream match-up!

I'm not sure this artwork can be accurately replicated in this format. I may try ordering it as a print to see if that will work better.

At last, he decided to escape from the world, then opened up Nyoshinji-temples and learned about Zen and Shakuhachi (bamboo flute) under Kofu at Sekizanzensikai. Masakatsu wandered from place to place for religious mendicancy with Shakuhachi with “nothing”mental condition. He is generally considered to have started Komuso (musician in traditional costume and mask).
At that time, Shakuhachi was one of the religious tool for the repose of Buddha. The faith of Masakatsu was that people in religious mendicancy must not to take off Tengai (weave hat) even if they met the nobility or acquaintance. In addition, however hard the rain was, they ware not allowed to put up another umbrella. That was also the faith of him.
That is sai...
