MIKO 巫女

a concept album on the figure of the MIKO (Miko 巫女), I am very interested this symbol-ideogram 巫 that make up the name.
This evidence that SHAMANISM still exists in cultures and society economically developed such as Japan.

A figure that has stimulated the imagination of Japanese POP culture, from the manga to the ANIME, from the active figures (solid theater) to cosplay.
