The other day I visted ZiguZagu, a Japanese vintage textile warehouse located in Melbourne, attached to the Kazari Japanese Antiques Shop. To my surprise, they had a real Iki Ningyou! She is from the 1860s and very beautiful. They very kindly let me take pictures of all the cool wa-goth creepiness in their store, so expect more photos soon!
The first image from my new series of photos based on Sonezaki Shinjuu.
An amazing Kuchi-e (a late form of Ukiyo-e circa 1910). I wonder what the significance of the skeleton is?
Another teaser for the wa-goth shoot I did the other day XD;;
