I realized that I hadn't looked through all my UY sketchbooks yet, so went through them all today. In sketchbook 13, I came across this piece. I don't recognize them as Usagi Yojimbo characters. It was also pointed out to me that it's probably unusual for a female to act as a 2nd in sepukku. So I was just wondering what the story is behind this?

This was a commission by a FaceBook friend that was picked up at a Boston Comic-Con. She wanted to play the part of the executioner and her husband the victim.

Hahaha ha! I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not!
