Mishima


I just did an illustration for Yukio Mishima's Temple of the Golden Pavilion. 

It's a great book about a schizophrenic monk who believes that the Golden Temple in Kyoto is too beautiful to exist. He also believes that the Temple is responsible for the negative turns his life takes. To solve this problem he burns the Temple to the ground.

No I didn't ruin the book for you. It's based on an actual Monk who did in fact burn most of the Temple to the ground. If you haven't read it then you should.

See the entire illustration on my website www.grammajones.com

Enjoy!
