Guests 6 - Wet Morning

He was a sailor, now he is an very worried survivor. He doesn't know what is going to happen next. Cast ashore in this foreign land, the locals have greeted him and the other survivors in this fashion. He and the others were told that sailing next to this land was dangerous, since it was closed to foreigners, but they were suppose to land some special passengers they had on board, but instead a storm came up and drown most of the crew and passengers. Maybe they were the lucky ones?

The above illustration is the sixth illustration of a study, concerned with light and time of day, consisting of over 10 pictures. This is a close out view of one of the uke (subjects) in the illustration.

This is set in Japan around the year 1650 AD. The theme of this illustration is centered around examples of Kinbaku (Japanese traditional tight rope bondage).
