CLAMP and the symbolism of eyes
bearmoon:
Kinda random thought, but anyone notice thatall the characters who loose the eye are all male?
And I feel like we're forgeting another CLAMP character who lost an eye...it's on the tip of my tounge.

Hashimoto from Tokyo Babylon, she lost her left eye (one of the few who did). She was a minor character, so most people forget about her. -_-
sanlyn:
This issue was raised during anime expo 2006 ..
[SPOILER=taken from ANN]
Question: In most of CLAMP’s work there’s always a character who only has one eye, and I’d like to know what that means?
Ohkawa Ageha: In the stories, the one-eyed character or the characters loses sight in one eye...I think that I’m trying to visually show that there can be a very big traumatic experience/feeling and I’m basically trying to show the feeling of being lonely. From the stories there’s always some events or something that comes in later that supplements that vision. On a little different note, my right eye, the vision is not very good so maybe it’s just a personal thing that I can relate to such events personally. I think in the current works, Tsubasa and XXXHolic, there’s also a one-eyed character, so you might see that theme again. [/SPOILER]
Smile_For_Me:
I didn't forget about Hashimoto, I liked her alot. I wounder how she is doing now? Because in TB
Show contentSubaru gave her a hankerchiff??(is that what it is called) Before she lost her eye. After wards when he went to go see her, she didn't want to see him. She wanted to wait untill she was strong enuff to give the hankerchiff back to him one day.
Now in X, I'm still waiting for her to show up, knocking his but out of the drepressed state he's in, by giving him the hankerchiff, telling him that she is now strong enuff to face him. That is, when CLAMP starts X again, which I hope is soon..
Well know since Fai lost his right eye(?), I'm going to look up on some more info

That indeed would be interesting if she did show up, doubtful though. I really liked that story, because it showed how reality isn't rosy. Some things just can't be forgiven. I really think Tokyo Babylon has more in common with xxxHolic than X with the lessons that are displayed in it. At least looking at the individual stories it does.
