While wandering through the streets of my village, I came across a Japanese traveller and artist named Moko, deeply engrossed in painting a mural on the wall of his homestay. His artwork beautifully depicted his homestay, alongside the majestic himalayan range.
It was incredible to capture him in his element, documenting his creative process while listening to his fascinating travel stories from across India. Learning that he has been visiting this village for the past 15 years added a profound sense of connection to the experience.
That’s my friend, who couldn’t resist asking for a portrait of his own. Just look at that mischievous smile—it says it all! :D
The next few shots capture the progress Moko made, which I saw when I returned to admire his completed mural after a few days.
By then, Moko had added intricate details to the house, naming it as R. S. Mehra Guest House. He painted a touching scene of the homestay owners caring for a newborn baby, inspired by the little one who had recently been born into their family. He also created a charming garden outside the house, bringing the mural to life with his thoughtful touches.
And, finally, a couple of portraits of the newborn baby—a symbol of new beginnings and the life that inspired a part of this beautiful mural.
That's all for now, friends, I hope you enjoyed getting to know Moko and his artwork! Thanks so much for dropping by. Wishing you a wonderful day ahead! :)
