Drawings from Japan

Opening page in my sketchbook with my masked mascot. Started in England, finished in Japan.



Observational sketches, included a dog statue from the Fifth Station at Mount Fuji, a train signal from Fuji station and a temple that is part of the Toshogu Shrine in Nikko.



Lady at an Onsen (Japanese hot springs).



Observation sketches of a man reading on a Shinkansen (bullet train), and one of the buildings at the Kiyomizudera shrine in Kyoto.



I didn't get as much drawing done in Japan as I normally would've liked - my travelling companion was not artistically inclined so it seemed a little unfair to make him sit around while I drew pictures for hours on end...

... guess that means I'll have to go back next year!
