This forest is one of the most long inhabited places in Middle Earth! I hope I reflected this!

The 47th Traditional Kaga-Yuzen Craft Exhibition Visiting Kimono “Pride of the White Egret” by Masako Okuda

A kimono whose sleeves reflect the grace of the white egret and the shimmer of the water's edge. Resonating with Noriko Ibaraki's “At Least My Own Sensitivity,” it quietly yet surely sets the heart free.

"The chief city of this southern realm was Osgiliath, through the midst of which the Great River flowed; and the Númenóreans built there a great bridge, upon which there were towers and houses of stone wonderful to behold, and tall ships came up out of the sea to the quays of the city." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age"

@gondorweek day 4 ❊ OSGILIATH

[ID: an edit comprised of four posters colored primarily in blue and brownish orange. Top to bottom, left to right, they show:

1: A stone colonnade along the verge of a river or canal. Trees grow beyond it, and a minaret and dome are visible in the distance, built of the same stone. White text in the upper left corner, framed by two white lines, reads "Osgiliath" in all caps, and beneath it, smaller, "citadel of the stars" / 2: An ornately decorated interior, with columns and a dome circled by arched windows. The ceilings are painted with golden stars and other gilded detailwork covers the walls. White serif text in the bottom left corner, with a white line underneath, reads "There Anduin, going in a wide knee about the hills of Emyn Arnen in South Ithilien, bent sharply west, and the out-wall rose upon its very brink;" / 3: A second interior, lit by two lamps and carpeted in blue, with carved walls and high arching windows. Same format as Image 2, but the text is at the top right, and the line is above it. It reads "and beneath it lay the quays and landings of the Harlond for craft that came upstream from the southern fiefs." / 4: A stone tower and wall, perhaps of a fortress, with water and low mountains visible in the background. Same format and text as Image 1, with the orientation reversed so the text is in the bottom right corner //End ID]

The 47th Traditional Kaga-Yuzen Craft Exhibition Visiting Kimono: "By the Banks of the Saigawa-river" Hiroyuki Kikuta

While participating in the Yuzen-nagashi event on the Saigawa River during an association gathering, I reflected on the history of Yuzen, the local area, and the livelihoods of our predecessors. I incorporated a magnolia that I had previously sketched by the Saigawa River, along with my thoughts, to create this piece depicting that scene.
