Pipe spirits - Yokai exhibition in JapanIn summer 2012, we traveled around Japan to witness many festivals and we saw to the Hachinohe sansha taisai, a very big impressive and colorful festival. We loved the pipe players clothes and gestures. This is what inspired us for this illustration. Cecile gathered pamphlets we brought back from the event, a watercolor sketch made on location by Olivier during the festival and pictures we took as documentation before starting to draw the pencil.Drawing Japan is like traveling back in our memories. When we drew this illustration, we remembered all the atmosphere of the festival, the people we saw and we could almost ear the pipes sound. It has something magical. -- source link
