“Large work is a conversation over a year. We plan the whole sleeve so every sitting has a place.”

Yuki trained for seven years in Yokohama before moving to Bengaluru. Koi, waves, peonies and dragons laid out across sleeves and backs, planned in one consult and finished over several sittings.

★★★★★Yuki planned my whole sleeve in one consult. Four sittings later it flows exactly like the drawing he showed me.
