Onigawara

My wife and I frequent a restaurant called Kingyo. The food and service is great but another notable attribute is the interior design. Every time I’m in there I feel like ripping off ideas. This time I did. They have this Onigawara sitting on the wall. Which is a  type of roof decoration. I kept thinking of the idea below. The funny thing is, I actually added the face on my own which was inspired by these Kala monsters, typically found in South East Asia. We saw these a lot when we were in Cambodia. It wasn’t until after I painted this that I discovered Onigwaras often depict a Japanese ogre or Oni. So maybe my idea wasn’t that original after all but whatever. This image has a ninja girl and some roses! And that’s kinda interesting. No?
