Vaporwave Tanabata - 蒸气波七夕
Yokai hunter investigating a crime scene. The vaporwave color palette is one of my absolute favorites and I just don’t get tired of using it for my pictures. Especially the Japan inspired illustrations.

A Tanabata-themed tenugui (a traditional type of hand towel) made with the chusen dyeing technique.
A simple yuzen washi tapestry depicting tanabata was hanging in a shop window on a hill leading up to Moto-Azabu away from the hustle and bustle of Azabu Juban.
These are the simple memories that I have from living in Japan for 15-years… I’d walk by this shop occasionally and see other washi hanging depicting Hina Matsuri, Boys Day, New Years, and even western holidays like Christmas and Halloween.

One meta post, and here I am drawing one of the most legendary pairing that ever existed in the face of the planet! So, this is ICHIHIME as they face The Almighty Yhwach…and…and…and this is a tribute to the upcoming anime return.

For the Tanabata festival, which runs from early July through early August, Japanese people will write wishes (often in the form of poems) on small pieces of paper and tie them to the leaves of bamboo plants.

Since today is the celebration of the Tanabata Festival in Japan, I’m posting this as my wish.
It is also known as the “Star Festival”, it is accustomed this day for people to write one’s wish and hope for it to come true.
The legend is actually an interesting story, you guys should read it. As for my wish, I know it’s almost impossible for Daiki to read this but I still gave it a try as my wish for the festival.
