Description: Abumiguchi 鐙口 あぶみぐち Translation: stirrup mouth Abumiguchi were once stirrups belonging to a warrior who fell in battle. The stirrups were left on the battlefield, forgotten. Upset at losing their purpose, a soldier’s implements can transform into tsukumogami (In Japanese folklore, tsukumogami are tools that have acquired a kami or spirit). Like faithful hounds, Abumiguchi wait in the fields for their masters, who will sadly never return.
Description: As a daily practice, I participated in Inktober, during which one must create one inked artwork each day for the month of October. This guy was one of my loose, scribbly style inked creations, and got some attention on Instagram. Since I had requests to make a shirt with him on it, I thought I'd give it a go, and see where it takes me. He's my first submission here on TeePublic. I hope my Scribble Monster makes you grin.
