Another from the Hanafuda
Japanese cards. The card of August. In Japan, there is a tradition
called メObonモ where we believe that the spirits of our ancestors
returns to our world for a short while. With that theme, I
drew an image of Death who goes back and forth from this world
to another world.
8月の札なので「盆」をテーマに描きました。現世とあの世を行き来する、いわゆる死神のイメージです。お寺で良く見られる五重塔は仏舎利(釈迦のお骨を収めたお墓)です。
