These shrine maidens of Shinto are still seen all over Japan today, performing cleansing rituals or sacred dances. Some of you may recall the chibi miko I did for the lunar new year, well this is her big sister…

Very pretty and spiritual looking lady with that finger up almost like a Buddha. I cannot wait to see the finished picture…

I knew she was a Shinto priestess but with her finger up like she has she looks slightly more like a Buddha… At least I am pretty sure if I remember all the different religious rites and postures and manners.

I want to do a lot of miko pieces, so I hope you like them…
The clothing look real authentic in this piece. I quite like the way you layered the contrasts between the light’s reflection and the shadows on the folds.
that’s especially tough to do with very light or dark fabric; they tend to flatten out…
She looks very fragile. Maybe the red and white seems crisp.
