Onsen Socks
Description: The Secret Onsen Village started as a sketch in one of my many sketchbooks I carried all across Japan in 2008-2009. Then while living in Sapporo, Hokkaido. It was drawn on washi paper with a Fude and I tried to sell it at a regular market stall we did in Odori plaza at night once all the stores shut and the musicians, hacky sack players, street weirdos, yakuza and so much come out to play. also, Pachingo pallors were in full swing in around us. Looking back were pretty brave just setting up shop in that ally. Luckily we made friends with the stall next to us and when the local yakuza came around asking for fees for being there...or something.. they had our back. Phew! :D anywayyyy.. I never sold it.. 10 years later, its here on Teepublic!
