Dinosaurs and Traditional Performing Arts Vol. 1
A collaboration between dinosaurs and traditional Japanese performing arts.
I tried painting a "Shishimai" (lion dance) themed piece that evokes a Japanese atmosphere.

Shishimai, one of Japan's traditional performing arts, is said to have originated in the early 16th century in Ise Province (Mie Prefecture) as a charm against evil and disease. To children, its appearance might be a little scary. The head of a Shishimai looks somewhat like a dinosaur, making it a perfect match with a Tyrannosaurus.

The Tyrannosaurus, fully embodying the Shishimai, is meticulously dressed, resulting in an image that is personally one of my favorites.
