How was your 2010?

One busy parts of my last year was painting fusuma.

 This is a 4 door fusuma for a medical clinic in Kinshicho, Tokyo, the building just completed at the end of last year.

There were 3 others, 2 sets of 3 and another 4 door fusuma for a residence in Kamakura, the theme of this Kamakura painting was much more traditional. As requested I tackled one of the oldest themes in Japanese painting, the 7 drunken saints in a bamboo grove.  This was the first fusuma I started, thought it in fact took me 7 years to finish.
