I painted the shaved pate of his head with a translucent purple, and gave the scabbard some flower designs.
The rough finish was smoothed out and the figure was allowed to dry out.
I have finished this piece. The painted mon is the Hollyhock of the Tokugawa shogun. As the figure still appeared static, I came up with the idea of having some Ukiyo-e prints blowing in the wind, to create some movement to an otherwise static figure. I may add some autumn leaves at a later stage.
