I'd say it first, don't add touhou tag :3

Youmu: I like her clothes...

Holy crap, for an original character she looks so much like Youmu. It's somewhat unsettling.

まあ~this artist draws one of the best Youmu illustrations : post #95896. Unfortunately, Youmu's swords 楼観剣 and 白楼剣 are not exist in real life, so they can not be included in this book. >.<

But all the swords within this book are katanas. You're saying that they're differents between each katana shown in this book?

I'm explaining my opinion of why Youmu can not present in this katanas book. Youmu's swords are definitely katanas, but they are not exist in our real life, even the names are originally created by Zun.

For this book, ALL swords are exist in the history of Japan, so even the artist like touhou a lot, he can not draw Youmu in this case.

Who cares, the artist's goal achieved, and we got one more awesome pic of “Youmu”.

it's 福岡一文字 held by 毛利元就

And also thank you for scanning and sharing, Midzki-chan.

Thanks for the first warning midzki...because I sure as HELL was heading to tag her as Youmu. Little impostor.........

Isn't it sound cute? ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
your account name is hardly to be came up with your nick.

My acct name is a kind of Chinglish which i use it when i was a student in primary school..

No matter how you look at it, this is Konpaku Youmu, and you tagged it accordingly.
But why skipping the Touhou tag?...
Just because the artbook isn't dedicated to Touhou, the character is still from it. ~_~

Added, It's just that someone forgot to put it.

zun forbid to use copyright touhou on commercial products.

@midzki so I guess both Comiket and Reitaisai are underground market full of circles illegally selling ton of Touhou doujin and fangame while ZUN, despite visit both every years, are unaware of, then.

This is Youmu, just because it was not from a Touhou fanbook doesn't mean that the artist can't draw Touhou characters in it, and artist intentionally use alternative eye color all the time, danbooru also have her tagged as Youmu too.

The post history on this image is hilarious. Users have been adding and then removing the touhou and konpaku_youmu tags since 2009.

I feel like taking them off again just to keep the tradition alive.
