Description
My friend Kerry has great taste in home decor and she always buys me great presents for christmas that I actually like!. Shirts that fit. Great music. Wonderful oddments Id never be able to find. So this could have just as easily been a Klimt style pic to go with her Art Nouveau/ dark timber/high sheen furnishings, but the delicate flow of Japanese women and cranes was much more like her style.Acrylic on canvas
3ft x 6ft

This is so beautiful. I am really impressed. I love how traditional it looks, but a tiny touch of modern. Wow.

I'm Japanese, so I'm very happy to see "Japanese styles and stuffs" from someone who is interested in Japan and our culture. Thank you so much, Greg san!

Well coming from you Aki san, thats high praise indeed. But I mustnt take credit, afterall Ive only borrowed different elements from other traditional works. Which is why I would only do these as gifts rather than for sale.

HAha, we're not exactly talking Hattori HanzΕ quality swords here. Although they're pretty heavy, I suppose it'd hurt quite a bit if you dropped one on your foot.
Besides, there's no more room in my armoury...

*is afraid to ask about said armoury.*

LOL- I worked with a Polish guy a few years back and he had this Polish/english dictionary. And in the back were a few "Useful Phrases" -You know the usual stuff "Where's the nearest post office?" "Where is the toilet" "I dont know that girl - I have the right to a solicitor"
-I kid you not.

*LOL* @ solicitor.
I remember being completely stunned at one japenglish phrase book on a plane that said among the "phrases you may need to know":- ""I dont love you anymore so Im changing my phone number".
I love Japan.
Its like a fun park for grown ups.
