Everything is only as it is.

I'm not sure if anyone out here remembers Ginko or Mushishi, but sometimes I think about him.

[ #croquisdennui / #fanart / #mushishi / #ginko / #art ]
Ginko, a pale man with shock white, short hair and one visible light green eye looks to the side as he exhales smoke from a cigarette that he's smoking against a deep green forest backdrop.
