Geishas and Higashiyama

I love Kyoto, its winding streets and temples and houses left and right, dotted with kimono-clad men and women, bustling with tourists.  I was inspired to create this illustration of Higashiyama, with a geisha, carrying a smartphone, (because I thought I saw an actual geisha using a smartphone).  Used a lot of pinks, to symbolize the color of sakuras in Spring!
