This is a piece that I finnished in the beginning of summer but for various reasons I haven't gotten around to posting it here yet. This piece required a lot of work because of all the detail, but was nevertheless completed within a single month. Ludwig was determined to have it done as fast as possible, so we aimed for long sessions, sometimes two days in a row.
The story of Taira Tomomori is an itriguing one, and a favourite theme for myself as well as the Ukiyo-e designers of Edo period (1600-1868) Japan. The image of general Tomomori himself is adapted from an early Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798-1861). I have posted an image of here below.

This is SO beautiful. I love the contrast between the yellow-red leaves and dragon, and the blue character.
