Hi new followers! 👋 I'm Geri—an illustrator and sumo-obsessed Japan lover living in the UK. I run a shop called GeriDrawsJapan.com and do illustration for a variety of clients with a focus on kids' books, websites, and more. I'm also accepting a couple of more pre-holiday commissions!

Two enamel pins depicting the Japanese lucky cat—one in black, one in white with gold trim. A framed print of a snowy Japanese mountain scene reminiscent of a woodblock print, with snow monkeys bathing in the foreground. A Christmas card featuring a Japanese tanuki raccoon-dog wearing a Santa hat and holding a green sack. Two golden baubles sit at his feet. A blonde woman (me!) wearing a denim kimono with a light brown and beige obi belt. The background is a British street corner with a blue iron lamppost.

I’m sending artwork off to the manufacturer tomorrow, so if anyone is still interested in pre-ordering anything from my Holiday shop, it would be so helpful to order soon 😊 I make Japanese-themed Christmas ornaments, greeting cards and more!

My Halloween costume is pretty niche, but I’m basically a middle-aged Japanese sumo fan who would bodycheck a gaijin for a selfie with her favourite sumo wrestler.

Sorry to dip in here and post about work right away, but I am taking new work on at the moment if anyone needs anything (both personal and commercial)! I've been doing a lot of personal commissions like these lately, and am happy to fit in some more before Christmas 😊

An illustration of a couple standing hand-in-hand in front of a torii gate in Hakone, Japan. The sky is pink with sunset and waves are lapping on the foreground stone path. An illustration of a family of four walking hand-in-hand in the distance on a beach with a long pier visible on the horizon. The sky is pink with sunset and waves are lapping on the foreground.

Some new items available for pre-order in my shop—including my 2024 Japanese Christmas ornament featuring the beautiful island of Itsukushima (Miyajima)! Ships worldwide from November 28. Reposts hugely appreciated! 🙏 #japan #art #illustration

A mocked up image depicting a wooden Christmas tree ornament. The ornament features an illustration of a sunset on the island of Miyajima, Japan, with fresh snow piled up on the red torii gate floating in the sea, as well as on the pine trees framing the scene. A lone shika deer is looking on in the foreground. A mocked up image depicting a Christmas card. The card is cream in colour and features a cute pink-cheeked tanuki dressed in a Santa Claus hat, holding a green sack of presents. There are two golden Christmas baubles sitting between his feet.
