Kina Profile

I never would have thought of the idea of "a Northern European girl in front of Tokyo Station at the height of the Taisho Era", so it's very fresh to me!

It became a great opportunity to look back upon history as I had to research what the station actually looked like at the time. Back in those days, traveling from Northern Europe to Japan would have been a very long and difficult journey, so I started to think a lot about what could have brought her to Tokyo. Perhaps there is a really important reason. Or maybe she just always dreamed about coming to Japan. That's why I wanted her delighted expression to scream "I've made it to Japan!"

She pulls off the kimono very well, and I made sure to use Japanese patterns of the time period as well as some aspects that show off her background. This acts a fusion of her pride of where she has come from as well as her longing for the place she is now.

Both plans come with two differently-sized versions of the illustration (one optimized for your About Me page and one optimized for your Profile Picture on MAL).

The Oshikatsu Personalized Plan will also allow you to look at the illustration layer-by-layer, so you can gain a deeper insight as to how the image was created.
