Drawing and painting of a Japanese geisha/geiko woman calming a person down from an anxiety attack/panic attack. I was thinking of this idea randomly. She's a service geisha/geiko woman who is trained to calm down people from anxiety/panic disorders, autism (ASD), etc.

I say to my late brother, "You did this for me? Thank you." He says , ' You're welcome' in an implied meaning. He rolls his eyes and says in a sigh, "You and your Geisha girls. You're obsessed with geishas." I'm smiling and excited for the Geishas. I cry tears of joy . After that, I woke up

It's a Japanese geisha related package. That made my day. In the package, it's two geisha dolls including my service Japanese geisha woman for relaxation, three Christmas sticking of geishas, Geisha pictures, colored pencils, charcoal, watercolor, and oil pastels of Geishas printed on them.

I had a dream today while taking a nap. In the dream, I'm in my living room with my late brother who passed away. He's sitting on a blue rocking chair. All of a sudden, I get a knock on the door. I opened the door. It's a package. My late brother sent me a package. I opened it.

Inktober 2025 day 17: ornate: An ink drawing of a brown-eyed Japanese woman wearing red lipstick and a turquoise kimono walking in Akihabara. The foreginer from the US does not understand what the Japanese woman is saying. In Japanese, she says, "I'm a Japanese woman from Kyoto."

Language barrier between the US foreginer and the Japanese woman

Note: I was overthinking this prompt. I went with my default/favorite TV character to draw: Ally McBeal
