Sad News

If you've ever visited any of the Japanese websites, you know the name Sayuri Washio. Sayuri passed away on January 21st from Cancer according to Kena. She had a very popular Japanese website with tons of beautiful Gatch fanart. She was a very talented artist. She will be greatly missed in the Gatch community. RIP, Sayuri.

So sorry to hear that! Hopefully she's enjoying her own piece of Gatch heaven right now! (Yeah, that sounds kind of corny, but I mean it.)

I didn't know her, but I recall seeing her art many times. She will be missed.
