The Jason Gallery

This painting is inspired by the description of the "sword trees" that had branches pointed like animals' fangs. (p. 46)









I wanted to combine the image of impalement with the concept of being tortured by birds.









I wanted to take a closer view rather than a shot from the distance so that more story could be told in the image. I added details from the passage on p. 66 that detailed the burning of Yoshihide's daughter.

Wow. These are amazing. And terrifying. I don't think I'll be able to pass by trees in the dark for awhile. Teeth!!

These are really neat. I especially like the little monkey arm reaching out for Yoshihide's daughter.
