4th place at WRC #riichi2022 💪
Blonde madam that doesn't know when to call riichi at #riichi2025 💅
I wonder what's next!

@mahjongmanu Although our hanchan was hilarious. Suuankou cemetery 😈

Little stone figurines at the Togakushi shrine complex, tucked away on the side of the cedar trail. I repainted this one at least thrice because I wasn't doing them proper justice. Now I'm happy and I can rest 😌

[Anna Zubenko 🇺🇦 @RiichiAnna]

I did not do well on the test, better git good. Anyway, please enjoy this beautiful twisty pine that rhymes with the curve of the roof. The sun was so strong that there's very few colors left, but the greens and blues are popping because of that ☀️

[Anna Zubenko 🇺🇦 @RiichiAnna]

@experimilk Yes!

[Anna Zubenko 🇺🇦 @RiichiAnna]

Just did my mahjong pro application exam. I hope I did well 💪🙏

A beautiful overgrown torii gate at the Togakushi shrine area ⛩️

This piece was an experiment, but I ended up liking the composition a lot, so it stayed 😊

I think this will look gorgeous on a bigger format once I am able to get into the details on the leaves and the light 🌿

Wheat and rice fields 🌾 around Azumino.
Crazy clouds, adorably small pickup car, distant mountains.
Wondering if this landscape needs even more space 🤔

[Anna Zubenko 🇺🇦 @RiichiAnna]

Won this one on 3s instead -- what a day 🥵

[Anna Zubenko 🇺🇦 @RiichiAnna]

Got a pretty tenpai in #WROTL today

Moody forest of Narai-juku. This sketch came together very quickly and I decided to let it be as soon as I felt that I captured the likeness of the stones and the mood. Gouache on A3 paper.

[Anna Zubenko 🇺🇦 @RiichiAnna]

I've been working on some sketches inspired by our trip to Japan, do you want to see them?

[Anna Zubenko 🇺🇦 @RiichiAnna]

@TwelveSixer It's OK to take a lil break and come back with a fresh pair of eyes. Might be a bit of a mahjong hangover after the WRC too. And regardless, inspiration doesn't always come when you want it, it has a mind of its own. Don't sweat it

[Anna Zubenko 🇺🇦 @RiichiAnna]

I forgot how hot it is in Tokyo while I was playing at the WRC 🥵 Flying back to Sweden tonight, looking forward to the sun being lame again

[Anna Zubenko 🇺🇦 @RiichiAnna]

@pon_pon_shoco The best 🌞

[Anna Zubenko 🇺🇦 @RiichiAnna]

Sunset over the Sumida river. The problem with painting sunsets is that it gets dark in the process and I can't see what I'm doing 🤭 Should have bought a necklace lamp thing that I saw while shopping today 🙃

[Anna Zubenko 🇺🇦 @RiichiAnna]

@kartan7777 楽しかったけど、そろそろ帰国です🥲

[Anna Zubenko 🇺🇦 @RiichiAnna]

Has anyone seen this adorable gacha in Tokyo? It's mahjong tiles shaped like cute cats. We found it on a random train station once and can't find it again 🥺 Would be such a cute souvenir 🥰

[Anna Zubenko 🇺🇦 @RiichiAnna]

Thank you for having us 😊 Hope I'll be back someday!

世界麻雀が終わってこれで日常に戻るんだろうなって思ってたら海外の方々がたくさん来てくれて道場は大盛況でした。俺たちの世界麻雀はまだ終わってない。

アンナは今日も楽しそうでした。

@kurosawasaki I think you did really well with the hands you got. Luck was not on your side in the finals, but your skills are always with you. 4th place still means you got to the finals 💪 Best of luck in the future ❤️ I got 4th place at the previous WRC, so I know how you're feeling ❤️❤️❤️
