Hikone Castle • Japan
Drawn with a vintage 1972 Pilot Myu 701 fountain pen with Iroshizuku Shin Kai ink in a Leuchtturm1917 journal.
Having lived in Japan for 3 years growing up - the buildings in this country helped instill my love for architecture at a young age.

My profound thanks to all of you who supported Merwyn, as I stumbled through Inktober 2025
Using children’s books to help paint this year’s story was a great fit for work I try to share on line - creative, interesting, artistic, and positive.
Thanks again…
till we meet again!! 🐭
