Hoshi ni Negaiwo (Wish Upon a Star) The Gods of Wind and Thunder

Hoshi ni Negaiwo is a karakami series project that I have been working on every year since its first unveiling at the end of 2008. I plan to continue challenging myself in this, my life’s work, as long as I am able. 
This time it came to fruition with wind, clouds, and thunder.

The Chinese lion dancing in the gathering storm
The dragon turtle lurking in the thunderclouds
Something that stands up and climbs out of the dynamic and static, chaotic universe
