The amazing art of MJ Lai (Mrs. Tokutake)

Love the design. The colors are great, I’m curious what the design looks like in grayscale.
I’d buy one on a unstructured strap back hat for sure

Unfortunately the sample came out not how I’d like so that one is going on the backburner for now.

I will have tote bags for those looking to buy something that is not an absurdly tiny pot.

Another night of painting pots for the Shohin School Seminar coming up in two weeks. Got my tote bags in too, but apparently some of them have a printing flaw and now I have to sort 500 bags to separate the ones with flaws. Here is a photo of one without flaws, and as soon as I get a minute they will go up in the shop.

Thanks! I really love dragons and it took some noodling to draw a japanese one I liked. Fact: japanese dragon, aka ryu, have three digits on each hand. Korean yongs have four, and chinese lungs have five (Technically, it is the imperial dragon that has five - common dragons have four, which can be confusing with the korean dragons).

Thank you! If you mean the kamon, the circle with oak leaves and vines, that is the Tokutake family crest so I cannot take credit for it.

Yeah but you elevated the design by putting it on a hat, lol
