I like how Kishimoto kinda worked with the concept of Isonade, mainly just that the hook-idea was kept, not on Isobu himself but in his jinchuriki, Yagura's staff has a hooked end, which is a cool detail.

congratulation, you got folklore right! Thats rare, especially regarding this so called "legend of the bijuu" everyone keep referencing.
I bet kishimoto will make all real bijuu completly different from the legend just to make it false. heck, thats what happenned with hachibi

Wonderful illustration! The calmness, I think, helps make the message of the image more striking. The sea is always "the sea" (calm, turbulent, vast, constant, deep with mystery) and people are so much smaller and what happens to them while at sea is so small in the greater scheme of things. Well, what's just what I took away from it.

I really like this illustration alot! I love how you did the waves, clouds, boat- everything! I've been visiting your obakemono.com site for years, it's awesome reference whenever I'm looking for a particular yokai description/illustration. ^_^

Isonade reminds me of the shark boss from Okami, but it actually started off as two hermit crabs that combined into a huge shark!
I think it was based off this shark.

Reminds me of a whale. With barnacles. Nice picture! XD

Is this meant to allude to Hokusai in any way, shape, form, etc? Anyway, I like it! I like the waves and how this shark just comes on by and the people are all, like, no, not that, anything but that!

By which I mean I do read Japanese folklore, wherein the Isonade is a large fish-like monster with a single hook-covered tail. The creature in Naruto is completely unrelated to it. There is also no "Legend of the Tailed Beasts", sorry, it was made up by fans.

When I first saw this picture, I first thought of the old Great Wave Hokusai, and I always felt bad for those sailors. But this just makes me laugh, although maybe I should feel even worse for these poor fellows? Hehe, terrific job, though, I love the expressions and the mythology of the piece.

I must have to rewatch Naruto because I am not recognizing why I am supposed to be shocked at so many of your pieces. I still like them though.

Say; I don't suppose you could link me to your monster website (not the drunken tengu one, the other one which lists alot of japanese mythical monsters and has illustrations etc - I love that site but lost the link a while ago 
But on the actual subject of art, I love this because sea monsters float me boat!
