Otagi temple...



A little sketch I've done a few weeks ago during our trip to Japan.
There are 1200 small stone statues in the surrounding gardens of this temple (near Kyoto) and every single one of them has got a different face.
It is said that if you look for it, you will find your own face...

Whoever said you can find your own face must have thought everyone looks Asian in the world. Haha.

Thanks Carguin! Believe it or not, I managed to find my face there, and I'm more of a bearded frenchman :)
