Description A Japanese study of the Holy family. There was this old statue of the holy family in this chapel i used to go to, St. Joseph was cradling the blessed mother who was holding the sleeping baby Jesus in her arms so that was the concept here, only in a japanese themed style. I love drawing the kimonos

Very lovely...Jesus' message was meant for the world. Rendering it in the styles of other cultures is quite appropriate when you think about it.

Pretty cool. I'm actually surprised Christianity never became more popular in Japan. Their culture seems to have compatible values, and they could have adapted it to resemble Shinto. Maybe they misunderstood and thought it was only a religion for white people...?

Catholicism was gaining a lot of ground before it was persecuted. That's usually how it goes - it gains ground, is seen as a threat, and is violently persecuted. You might want to look into Jesuits in Japan - I think there was a Jesuit Catholic presence there.

Yes, I remember reading something about Portuguese Jesuit missions in Japan, although I admit I didn't research the matter very thoroughly, as it was only a recreational study.

This is very beautiful! Do you think you'll colour it eventually?
I really like the patterning on Mary's kimono. I like your idea of drawing this scene with a Japanese theme.
