To: Hebrews 11:6
And now for something completely different . . .

Daniel Mitsui illustrates scenes from the Bible in the traditional Japanese style. He also does lovely medieval-style illuminations.

"St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be thou our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen."

Odd that, in my extensive and far-reaching searches, I’ve never seen even one of Mitsui’s works. If this one is representative, they are very worthy of inclusion. Thanks for the lead.

From his website:

He desires to make artwork that is faithful to tradition yet strikingly original, and vigorously medieval in spirit. He draws much of his inspiration from Gothic illuminated manuscripts, panel paintings, and tapestries. Most of his artwork is religious in subject.

Emphasis added
