Japanese Ink Illustration - 2022-2023 A rabbit chasing a tiger

To the Year 2023

In the Chinese zodiac, 2022 was the year of the tiger, and 2023 welcomes the year of the rabbit. As December brings Christmas festivities around the world, a sense of restless urgency fills the air, with one year ending and a new one just  around the corner. This illustration captures the universal feeling of being pursued— a sentiment keenly felt in Japan as the new year approaches.
