This is a wash print and was created to look like a whirlpool effect with a dragon and a face surfacing in the swirls of hair and skin. The kanji for beauty (very stylized in writing) merged during printing so it is missing the lower line and should look like this (美), this piece was printed on a spate piece of paper (a blue rice paper as you can see) and then layered on during printing with a grainy rice paper to create an orb like appearance. Sadly once the grease pen merged it was impossible to fix. However, the original beauty of the piece still holds true.
