“Myoban Onsen” Original 4x6” Gouache Miniature Painting

Myoban Onsen in Beppu, Oita Prefecture, is famous for its ‘Yu No Hana Goya,’ straw-roofed huts where sulfur and sodium bicarbonate crystals are raised to be made into a silky-smooth powder used as a bath salt. I visited Myoban Onsen many times between 2003 and 2014, and the sight of these cute little A-frame huts makes me feel so cozy, I just had to paint it. This painting is #008/200, JPN-005 of my ‘2 Countries, 200 Paintings’ series. A great gift for that onsen otaku in your life. This painting will also bring a warm, revitalizing energy to a spa or bathing area, or even on top of your desk when you need to mentally thaw out from the cold.
