Hanafubuki

Cherry Blossom Shower. =3

Just trying a different style. ;)
...do I feel a series of these drawings coming...?

This japanese lady from the Heian period (794-1185) wears a junihitoe, formal garment of various layers that was the formal attire for court women on that time. The layers were arranged according to season and moths, in specific color combinations. This one is called "Murasaki no Usuyou" (paling purple), a Spring composition.

I originally made the drawing using "Tsutsuji" (azalea) combination, but then realized that was a Summer color composition, therefore, not fit for the picture's theme... -_-;


Well, it still looks pretty, color-wise, so I'll post it anyway. ;p

Merry Christmas to all! ^_^
