Arai is a 20-year-old Japanese college student we often see around the streets of Harajuku. She remakes traditional Japanese kimono and mixes them with handmade and modern elements. There are a number of people in the Harajuku scene who wear kimono, but Arai’s kimono remixing style is all her own. She’s also known for her bloody nose makeup, which we rarely see her without. This video shows Arai in Harajuku on two different days, both times wearing remake kimonos combined with various, handmade, vintage and resale accessories.

So a few weeks ago I asked @corvidfeathers if they wanted to collaborate on a little something. They sent back some awesome prompts, I added sketches, they wrote a vignette, and eventually this fell out. The universe is a lot bigger than this, and I’m looking forward to introducing all of our OC’s in time, but let’s start here.
A vignette from “The Facsimile.”
Enjoy.
