Some people may notice a part of this picture...yes, I'm using "his" face as my avatar (although I'm a woman!!). He is one of my favourite warriors Hanbei Takenaka (1544-1579) and famous as a staff officer of Hideyoshi Toyotomi. In my Japanese blog I'm introducing pictures I drew based on a story "Taikouki" which tells about Hideyoshi Toyotomi. If you want to know about this story please check Wikipedia. There are several versions of the story and I think there is an English version of "Shinsyo Taikouki" written by Eiji Yoshikawa. I want to get the English version of it to compare both versions, but I haven't been able to find the English version...
Well, see you next time.
