Comments for everyday productions
A woman wearing a kimono is somewhat unrealistic and dreamy.
Some kind of solemn atmosphere of the kimono may make it so.
Seasonal patterns and colour schemes that are repeated with an exquisite rhythm.
Once dressed, a woman becomes a beautiful creature beyond the natural appeal of a woman.
A person who appeared in a novel I read someday.
An out of reach person standing in a fantasy.
I want to draw a woman who lives in such a quiet world.
