Description of the work:

With the bright full moon shining in the dark night,

A beautiful mermaid emerges from the sea and is resting on a rock.

The sight of her sitting quietly and combing her golden hair is both seductive and graceful.

It's like an illustration from a picture book I read a long time ago, without being too realistic.

It is a somewhat nostalgic and fantastic work.

[Moon and mermaid]


The full moon and the mermaid.

You may remember seeing illustrations like this somewhere in fairy tales or picture books when you were a child.

Mermaids are fictional beings that originally originated in Western culture.

It is also popular among Japanese people because of its romantic image.



The legend of mermaids certainly existed in Japan during the Heian period.

But it didn't become that famous after that.

Personally, I think visuals have a huge influence.

Stories about Japanese mermaids were not given a clear visual image.

Or even if there was, it lacked impact.



On the other hand, mermaids who came from the West,

First of all, she had a very beautiful and sexy body image.

Generally, she has shiny blonde hair and is a nice, well-proportioned body. lol



Even normal people are attracted to beautiful women,

If you add an even more fantastical image to it, it will surely become popular.



The most original mermaid legend is

It all started when sailors in ancient times had hallucinations during long, difficult voyages, and mermaids sink ships.

She had the side of a terrifying poisonous woman.

She was never just a beautiful person.



This is because it contains both the beautiful and terrifying aspects of the feminine principle.

In Japan, there are folk tales about beautiful and terrifying women, such as the Futakuchi Onna.

Throughout the ages, women have been beautiful and kind, and on the other side of that,

Once their love and expectations are betrayed, they turn into horrible monsters, a dark image set in them.



This is the positive side of the masculine principle, being strong and protecting your friends and family, while

Just like the dual nature of being violent and controlling,

Human beings, both male and female, always have a good side and an ugly side, like two sides of the same coin.

It means that it exists.


Now, let's get back to the picture.

The background of this mermaid painting is the darkness of the night sky.

Mermaids usually appear in public at night,

Although this is done in secret,

The artist chose darkness as the background for this painting.

This is because I wanted to include in the painting the dark side of the feminine principle that I mentioned earlier.


If a beautiful woman is just beautiful on the outside,

It would be nothing more than a kind of demented beauty, a doll.

However, when you feel the dark side hidden behind that beauty,

People will be in awe of such beautiful women, more than just their beauty.

This adds an even more convincing strength to the beauty.


She's a beautiful woman, but I don't think I'll be able to approach her easily...

I think this kind of elegance increases the value of beautiful women.

Well, everyone. Thank you for reading.
