Drunk Boy (Black) by AnrakuAnsaku 酒呑童子 製作・安楽安作

Black vinyl with blue, magenta, silver and gold paint. Also came with batik cloth vest jacket and white loin cloth. Standard size, approximately 9 1/2 inches tall. (Limited edition.)

The beautiful golden and blue patterns on the back of this Drunk Boy reminded me of something. It finally came to me what I was thinking of. It was Van Gogh's "Starry Night". I really don't think that there is any connection between the two, but point this out to demonstrate how inspiring Anraku's painting can be.

Drunk Boy (Green) by AnrakuAnsaku 酒呑童子 製作・安楽安作

Green vinyl with brown, pink, black, gold, and silver paint. Also came with patterned cloth vest jacket (not shown here) and red loin cloth. Standard size, approximately 9 1/2 inches tall.

Drunk Boy is one of Anraku's "Monsters from the Classic World" (古典の世界の怪獣). Here is a painting from 1858 that Anraku apparently used as inspiration for the Drunk Boy figure design (the illustration was originally shown on Anraku's official website):
