【Available design】 Tsuyu no Yo (World of Dew) A full-sleeve design inspired by Kobayashi Issa's haiku, "Tsuyu no yo wa tsuyu no yo nagara sari nagara" (This world of dew is a world of dew, and yet, and yet...). Theme: Impermanence Hannya, Geisha, and Cranes are particularly popular motifs in Japanese tattoos, possessing an enduring charm that continues to captivate many, including myself, as they have been my favorite motifs for a long time. Combining the powerful passion of Hannya, the dignified beauty of Geisha, and the nobility of Cranes with autumn symbols like autumn leaves (momiji) and bellflowers (kikyo), I expressed the worldview of "Tsuyu no Yo" (World of Dew). To remain true to oneself even in a world where everything is constantly changing. This work, covering the entire arm, embodies not only transience but also the strength and resolve that reside within it. . . . . . . .
