Hello Everyone!
I am new here! After my first post about introducing myself as an artist, here is my second post sharing one of my art.
A watercolor painting of Chureito Pagoda, a key part of Japan’s most recognizable landscape—the area around Mount Fuji. You’ve definitely seen it placed in the foreground of Japan guidebooks and Instagram photos, even if you haven’t been there.
Short history - It is also known as the Fujiyoshida Cenotaph Monument, the pagoda was built in 1963 as a memorial for the city’s 960 citizens who died in war. It honors those lost from the First Sino-Japanese War in 1868 all the way to WWII. Today, the pagoda stands proudly as the centerpiece for Arakura Sengen Shrine.
Here is my work in progress:
Lastly is the reference and my artwork.
It doesn't get more "Japan" than this. Hope you like it.
