I called this artwork 'Mizuage' - it's the old japanese custom of geisha's sexual initiation. But as you see, my geisha isn't completely innocent, maybe she isn't even innocent at all. I hope that her client (and sensei for this night) knows about it, because the horimono (traditional tattoo) on her shoulder says about her relations with yakuza.
The mons (crests) on man's kimono are the emblems of my iai-do school - Muso Jikiden Eishinryu Iaijutsu.
This picture was made for the MangaClub contest. The subject was "feudal Japan".
