I meed help finding Japanese drawings/prints.

Hey guys, I've been thinking of going with an asian theme for a half sleeve tattoo on one of my arms and I've done some searching on google but couldn't find a picture of what I have in mind.

What I want basically is a few key components: bamboo, maybe a waterfall, asians with the classic outfit (the kind you see in the "Last Samurai", the people who gather crops) preferabbly with those straw hats on, and maybe some swords or something like that. Anyways, if you guys know off hand any good sites that may have some pics that would be good. Oh and also, the traditional japanese houses. I guess if they are all seperate prints thats cool and I could just show my artist the pictures and we could compile them somehow. I honestly doubt theres a drawing that would have all this **** lol.

Or shit if anyone's bored and feels like drawing this, that would be cool lol.

I guess if it is design oriented...surreal, you can do anything.....but if you want it to look realistic.....try to picture this....

- Waterfall to the right side, long and close up.
- At the bottom right is where the water turns into mist/ sloshing water.
- A pool where the water is settling at the middle bottom.
- Bamboo to the right thining at the pool.

The pool would sort of be a close up mini horizon. The backround will be bright.
- the backround would be a field with farmers farming..... a strem coming from the direction of the waterfalls would provide a better perseoctive or sense of distance.... in the backround very far could be faded anything..... that could all work o nan arm.....but things would need be exact.

I will try to make a sketch and link it real quick.

Edit: nevermind :sad:

Yeah I've been doubting getting it on my arm lately, because it seems like it will be too much, and there fore come out really small or look cluttered. I need to do some more searching. But I know I want an asian theme, so I guess thats a start.

if you are deciding to go down this you might want to do more research on this
look for horiyoshi III book 100 demons or bushido legacy of a japanese tattoo
