[snip kimono in japanese chars]

If you go to the website, you can see a gif of what the picture was
supposed to be. It's actually quite pretty. Problem is, it's rendered with
japanese characters. Here's my attempt to replicate it using only ascii
characters:

     ,-"-.
   *Y """-e
    ()|/)|)
     )a a 3
     ( - /
     .) (.
   ./ \V/ /\.
  /  \ Y /   \.
 / /\_\(/__/\  \
 |\ |      |   / D
 |_( D=oo==|  //
/   /======)  Y
|   ||     |  |
|   ||     |  |
|  *||     |@ |
| * ||    @| *|
| * ||   @ | *|
|  /|| .:*@|\/
    ||_____|
      C C X

The hands are formed with hiragana tsu's but, I couldn't find an ascii
equivalent, so I just use 'D's.

The bangs are formed with hiragana no's and katakana ha's which I could
only approximate with slashes and parentheses.

The middle of the sash had an infinity symbol and the hair piece had a
couple gamma's in there. So, I replaced the infinity with 'oo' and just
redid the hair.

I couldn't figure out what the artist was doing with the sandals at all.
Two hiragana to's and one katakana me. Best approximated with 'C' and 'X'.



Diddle away =)
