One of my favorite memories from my time in Japan last year was attending the "Awa Odori" dance festival with @adventure.tones. This festival celebrates the visiting of the dead amongst the living, embodying the spirit of unity and respect of the ancestors. Feeling the drums in my stomach, the chanting in my ears, the colourful outfits in the wind and the coordinated movements... It was simply magical :..) Here are some quick sketches I did from the festival although I would love at some point to create a full colour illustration with all its iconic characters.
