Colour in Kyoto

[Guest Post by Takeuma-san in Kyoto, Japan] 

Kyoto is an ancient city in west region in Honshu, Japan, with a 1200-year history. It once served as an imperial capital of Japan. Kyoto Station is a major railway station and transportation hub in Kyoto. It has Japan’s second-largest station building (after Nagoya Station) and is one of the country’s largest buildings, incorporating a shopping mall, hotel, movie theater, Isetan department store, and several local government facilities under one 15-storey roof.

These sketches are created with watercolor pen, my current favorite tool.
