ukiyo-e aynaku travel illustration

Maybe I should put forward for this week’s topic my whole blog! Actually every Aynaku’s post relates to memory so I consider that my most recent submission should make no exception, and be one of Aynaku’s most typical. My very first time on board a sailing boat is firmly fixed in my mind: I was nine years old and the calling of wind and sea was already precise. I remember my excitement when the crew set sail and the boat left. It all happened under my parent’s benevolent and worried eyes: waving their hands from the dock, they valued the possibility of an accidental jump into the water… still I couldn’t swim that well!
The second memory related to this illo, is my great fascination for Japanese ukiyo-e which dates
back to my trip to Japan in 1993. You know, some memories can’t wait.

Illustration Friday’s topic is: remember
