箕島綺譚 [Mishima Kitan] (they/them)💖Support Black Trans Liberation @mishimakitan.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I'm happy to publicly come forth as the JP-to-EN translator of My Journey to Her by Yūna Hirasawa. It's a great honor to be the first openly transgender & nonbinary native Japanese translator to be credited for the translation of an Eisner Award-winning manga. 😊 Please see my full statement below.

A statement from Mishima Kitan. Due to the word count restriction of the ALT text field, the ALT text is split into two parts. The second part is in the subsequent image in the thread of this post.

Statement Part 1:
"Hi, everyone. This is Mishima Kitan. Today, I'm happy to publicly come forth as the Japanese-to-English translator of My Journey to Her, an autobiographical transgender memoir, by Yūna Hirasawa. My Journey to Her won the Eisner Award for the category of Best Digital Comic in 2025. I'm very glad that this significant book has been released physically as well.

I've been using English as my second language for over thirty years now. It's a great honor to be the first openly transgender and nonbinary native Japanese translator to be credited for the translation of an Eisner Award-winning manga.

At the time of the digital release of this book in 2024, I had some personal concerns about being credited so I requested to be anonymous in the initially released edition. In March 2026, Haruko Hashimoto (the editor of the digital edition) had reached out to inform me that the book was getting a physical release and to ask if I'd like to be credited as the translator. Upon consideration, I replied, "Yes." I felt ready to be credited as the translator and I also felt that this present moment was a historically important timing to confirm the credit.

Having my own fair share of transphobic experiences and having to entirely cutting ties with my blood family in Japan at age 20 to live and transition on my own, this memoir was one of the most emotionally challenging book to translate. But, as with any work that I do, I gave my best effort."

Published in 1812 as part of Katsushika Hokusai’s revolutionary instructional manual Ryakuga Haya-oshi (略画早指南, Quick Lessons in Simplified Drawing), this page illustrates the master’s pioneering methodology for art education.

Displayed across a open two-page spread, a remarkable pedagogical demonstration contrasts geometric scaffolding with organic artistic realization. On the left page, Katsushika Hokusai dissects a complex scene into fundamental geometry: overlapping circles (maru), triangles (sankaku), and straight lines construct the underlying anatomy of a traveler mounted on a packhorse beneath clustered circular pine needles. On the right page, these rigid compass-and-ruler guidelines dissolve seamlessly into a fluid sumi ink rendering, bringing forth a weary traveler wearing a broad straw hat (suge-gasa) slumped gently atop a grazing horse under a textured pine canopy. Surrounding the figures, delicate calligraphic annotations guide the student's hand. The woodblock print evokes an enlightening sensory atmosphere: the rhythmic scratch of a brass compass pivoting on fibrous washi paper, the smooth glide of a bamboo brush loaded with dark indigo-black ink, the quiet concentration of an Edo-period apprentice in a sunlit workshop, and the intellectual joy of discovering order hidden within natural form. Published in 1812 as part of Katsushika Hokusai’s revolutionary instructional manual Ryakuga Haya-oshi (略画早指南, Quick Lessons in Simplified Drawing), this page illustrates the master’s pioneering methodology for art education. Designed to democratize drawing for amateur enthusiasts, textile designers, and aspiring artisans across Edo Japan, Hokusai demonstrated that any subject—from human figures and horses to ancient pines—could be reliably constructed using simple drafting tools like the compass (bunmawashi) and ruler (shaku). Rather than relying solely on intuitive copying, Hokusai’s analytical approach broken down visual reality into modular geometric building blocks.

For #InternationalRabbitDay 🐰: Yabu Chosui (Japan, 1814-c.1870) Portrait of a #Rabbit, 1867 Color woodblock print; surimono 24.9 × 18.3 cm (9 13/16 × 7 1/4 in.) Art Institute of Chicago www.artic.edu/artworks/420...

Color woodblock print, huge white rabbit with red eyes on pink background “A large rabbit fills the entire surface of this print, indicating that it was created in the year of the rabbit. The curious, sacklike quality of the rabbit’s body is also a reference to the large white bag of Hotei, one of the gods of good fortune, who often appears on New Year visual art. The rabbit’s body is also rounded out to suggest a lopsided moon (the home of the rice-pounding rabbit), which is emphasized by its silvery outline. Finally, there is an allusion to the most common New Year symbol, the rising sun. Although the rising sun is usually represented as a luminous, round body against an orange sky, Yabu Chosui showed it as a rising lopsided rabbit against a flaming pink background.”

almost every success and good thing that's happened to me through art has come from working together with other people and putting faith in communities of mutual cooperation and creation. in contrast basically nothing useful has come from any kind of weird pursuit of aloof influencer status.

Drew this for @willaiskilla.bsky.social as a Pride tee design. I'm so incredibly proud of this that I now want to plaster this everywhere as a sticker omg

A graffiti style drawing I did of a drink can with the words "Gender Fluid," a pun on the genderfluid flag. I used the genderfluid flag colours as a palette with which to draw the can and its branding, as well as the abstract swoosh design behind it. For context, the genderfluid flag is five horizontal stripes in these colours in this specific order from top to bottom: a warm baby pink, white, almost neon purple, black, and ultramarine blue

Also being up on the roof for lunch in between rehearsals made everything teenage me was facing (not a little, even now looking back) feel more doable, more manageable. If I'd managed to get up there and nobody was throwing me out, surely there was more I could do.

chest-up fan art of Qifrey and Oruggio from Witch Hat Atelier, depicted as an elderly couple. they both appear to be in their eighties, still dressed in their signature cloaks. Qifrey's hair is short and curly, the scar over his missing right eye sagging with age; he's not wearing his glasses. Oruggio has straight black hair with a deep widow's peak, slightly shorter than it was when he was younger but just as messy. his goatee is also unkempt.
Oruggio has his arms crossed, looking away with a cute grumpy expression on his face. Qifrey is leaning in from behind and planting a sweet smooch on his unshaven cheek.
