Artist's Comments
First captain of the Shinsengumi. A child prodigy of kenjutsu. Able to wield a katana, a bokken or a shinai all with equal skill.
The captain of the first squad of the Shinsengumi. That's Okita Souji. He was the basis for Rurouni Kenshin's Seta Soujiro. In the Shinsengumi, Okita was one of the strongest, if not the strongest. Unfortunately, he died of Tuberculosis at the age of 25. Thus giving him the stigma of a tragic and romantic life. His life and imminent death has been the stuff of many anime stories. Rurouni Kenshin's shinsengumi shots and of course Peacemaker Kurogane to name a few of the animes which commemmorate his life and immortal struggle between his illness and his duty. I don't want to finish the artwork. Because after all, Okita-san never finished his life thoroughly. It's my way of remembering him. It was my dream as a child to visit his grave in Roppongi. The japanese rose that he holds also means 'an exquisite, tragic death' in the language of flowers. |
