First illustration for the Yôkai series that will be displayed this fall at Craole gallery ギャラリー蔵織, in Niigata, Japan. (Yôkai are Japanese monsters)
The Kappa is a very famous yokai. We've been inspired by our travel in Tono in 2012, the land of yôkai, by the watercolors we made on location (yokai figure seen in the city) and old Japanese paintings and printings.
