A commissionned piece inspired by a kimono pattern. Thank you Sophie ! 

It’s been a while since I last used my gouache, I dearly missed it ! (also messed around with this gold gel pen woops, couldn’t help it)  

onna-musha:

“Miyagino the filial”, (1847/1848 ?), Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861)

Print from the series “Stories of dutifulness and loyalty in revenge”. 

Depicts one of the two sisters who avenged their father during the 17th century. Their story inspired the kabuki play “Go Taiheiki shiraishi banashi” for instance. 

Here the older sister, Miyagino, is represented carrying both a naginata and a sake cup.

onna-musha:

“Kiyoshi Hikariin” (1876), Toyohara Kunichika (1835-1900)

Print from the series “Thirty-six Good and Evil Beauties”

The princess Kiyoshi Hikariin draws her sword in order to avenge herself. The folding screen behind her is decorated with the mon (crest) of the powerful Tokugawa family, who ruled the shogunate during the Edo period.

The sun is disappearing 
It goes down into the see
Sorrowfully looking at the sunset 
Maybe 
The sun decides to stay …

მზე მიინავლა,
ჩასულია წელამდე ზღვაში.
ნაღვლიანი შევყურებ დაისს -
იქნებ, მზემ
წასვლა გადაიფიქროს …
