Kami can be translated to mean a few different things, but all are variations of its basic meaning "Spirit". Shinto believe that all things, living and non, contain a spirit.

Hope you guys enjoy my entry this week :]
How many Kami can you see?

I really like this! Shinto mythology is one of my favorite facets of Japanese culture. You have some great textures in there

I like the old man cloud. He looks dad-gummed tired of bein' a cloud.

(Eh, that wasn't really the right genre for elderly folk, considering this week's theme is "Japan" and not "The Clampetts", but, well, he looks like a hillbilly.)

Feed me, Seymour.

I count 7, but one might be hiding from me.

I love the character design and colors on this one especially.

@JustWalkedIn
Haha, if it prints, you should >:P

@TruffleShuffle
Same here, as you can tell :D thank you for your kind words.

@Bellarific
Ha, i could see him shaking his fists (that aren't there) at children on his lawn...

@RedQ33n
Thank you! I try to make my designs as much my own as possible. I make them more as artwork than what will appeal to the masses. If that means I won't win, that's fine with me :]

@IcyMallard
Edgar eyes? Not sure what you mean...
Glad I've got your vote though :D
*psst* ma'am ^_^

@Drakxxx
At the very least, there is 11.
Sun, Fox, Cloud, Tree, Koi, Blue Rock Thrush (Eurasian bird), Snake, Japanese Iris, River spirit, Mt Fuji, and the boulders at the base of the tree. To be simple, we'll count them all as one Kami :]

the tree and the golden cat/fox totally make this shirt for me.

I live, I learn, and so aid my end while I believe I'm winning

This is really nice. I would have loved a nice warm brown for the tree. Either way you GMV.
