Japanese shoes etiquette is a bit more complex than just taking them off at the entryway of a house. Different slippers are worn in separate parts of the house, like the loo, and absolutely no slippers are allowed in the tatami room. To avoid faux-pas, it’s usually a good idea to observe what others are doing before you move too fast. Also, wearing easy off and on footwear makes your life easier.

I usually draw a few of each illustration instead of making prints, as it allows my customers to get an original drawing at an affordable price, which end up being less than what a print would cost. And each is still unique.
