Artist's Comments

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".

nice work
is this pen and ink?

Mizuage? My girlfriend says she read about it in Memoirs of a Geisha

anyways I agree its more in the vein of Crying Freeman
mostly because of the tat work
but nice I could see it on the pages of Shonen Jump

I followed your link from ~techlessart to check this out. This is beautiful work! And I'm fascinated by the description. Especially the part about the tattoo on her shoulder. I'll have to read up on it. You have some awesome work in your gallery. I'm glad I ran across this. Great work! =) (Smile)
