Inspired by ukiyo-e, the hair is depicted with delicate lines that convey the feeling of each individual strand. I used my brush to portray the fluid, uniform beauty Hair line born from the techniques of master craftsmen.

I used strokes of about 25cm with a flat brush to try to leave traces of each individual hair in the brush. I wanted to get the flat look of ukiyo-e, so I drew the outline of the hairstyle as well, which I don't usually do.

浮世絵作品からインスパイアされたのは、髪の毛の一本一本をも感じるような繊細な線。職人の高度な技術で生まれた流動的な均一性の美を、自分の筆で表現した。

25CMぐらいの平筆のストロークで、筆の毛一本一本の痕跡を残すように意識して表現。浮世絵の平面感を出したかったので、普段あまり描かないヘアスタイルのアウトラインまでしっかり描き込んだ。
