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.
These are really great. Well done, Jason.
Your art is really amazing. The art really captures the story! GREAT JOB!!!
