Mind blowing craftmanship by tatami artist Kenzie Yamada.
The soaring crane design comes in jigsaw puzzle like pieces, and mats are in fact monocolor. Dark/light areas appear thanks to how each tatami straw mat is woven, beautifully catching the light.
You can see below the different weave directions depending on the tatami parts:
and in this video how those pieces react to light with a mesmerizing shimmer:
Rules of etiquette for warlord meetings in Mariejois. Immediately assert dominance by perching at the highest vantage point.🦩
Alternatively, if feeling particularly attention whorish, sit on the middle of the f*cking table with the other animals. Block everyone’s sight lines even in conversations that do not involve you.
Bonus points for strangling your hosts if you feel the meeting may be dragging on.
Though, proceed with caution in this strategy as you may get knocked on your pirate ass and hung out to dry by the few real ones in attendance. 🧼
Honorable mention also to the, “too badass to care” option of only boots direct on the table. This is the preferred method if you are not fully batshit, but still willing to broadcast your big d*ck energy to the room. 🗡️
(I love the warlords and would be fully invested in any and all additional drama from the probably 10% or so of times anyone else besides Kuma actually showed up. 🤣)
They’re Tsuru’s favorites i just know it. She bullies them by bringing them milk and cookies as a jab at their heights. Only buggy thinks she’s just being nice. They all accept anyway, but they never come to meetings so she has to settle for doflamingo.
Fun retro-modern furisode mixing auspicious cranes and pine, in katamigawari style patterns placement.
In old Japan, katamigawari was a way to recycle fabrics and make new clothes when you didn’t have the full tanmono (kimono fabric roll) required. It became a true fashion statement in Late Azuchi Momoyama/early Edo periods.
Lol Doflamingo and Usopp interacting is hilarious. Like imagine Doffy calling Usopp from Impel Down and spouting random crap and Usopp thinks he’s threatening him but Doffy’s just calling him cuz he’s bored.
Different approach since its not like the previous sketches
