Shinsengumi Demon Vice Commander, Hijikata Toshizo -- my version of course. Next time I go to Japan, I've got to visit Hakodate where he is buried. 💪😄And I felt the need to make a point about the smoking just in case... it's a funny thing, but he is often portrayed as a smoker. Japan has stricly banned public smoking, limiting such activity to designated smoking spots under penalty of a fine. I'm sure this is frustrating for many, but it sure does wonders for public cleanliness and litter. There is none. I haven't been able to watch Japanese television (in Japan) but Korean television makes a point to censor all images of smoking. An unlit cigarrette might be visible, but as soon as it is lit, blur, blur, blur. It is kind of amusing. Too bad it doesn't translate into actual regulation of litter. Cigarette butts are...everywhere. #sketchbook #blackbook #samurai #shinsengumi #temple #kyoto🇯🇵 #japan #babyonionsayshello #babyonion #lisamaycasausillustrator (at Mibu-dera)
