Peace
(unfinished work maybe)
Trying to remember how to draw because I’ve been busy that I haven’t been drawing.
And yes, Tobi’s eyes is closed (and somewhat smiling) because my boy is always awake doing shiz like creating new jutsus and watching his bros and the clan.

Did you know this about the Senju's names?
仏間butsuma: alcove/room where 仏壇butsudan, buddhist altar is placed.
柱間hashirama/space between pillars,bay-> 柱/pillars
扉間tobirama (no meaning) -> 扉/doors(hinges)
瓦間kawarama (no meaning)-> 瓦/roof tiles
板間itama/wooden floor room-> 板/woodenPlanks(flooring)
They end with 間ma/space, room. 板ita/瓦kawara are odd/boring compared to 柱Hashira(symbolic, used for counting kami, pillars/support), 扉Tobira(symbolic, gate to new places/changes)
Ah... but there seems to be a theme...parts of a traditional japanese house/architecture? or temple?
Similar Senju Names: Butsuma's name Mystery
Background: if you remember, Naruto manga was released weekly, Butsuma appeared in ch622 and had a week where he was unnamed. people tried guessing his name, based on pillars/doors/roof tiles/planks theme. Some guessed his name correctly. But naturally you get some silly answers.
Let's learn a few parts of a traditional Japanese house!(mostly end in ma)
梁間harima,etc -> 梁/beams
襖fusuma are opaque/solid sliding doors(ex has black outline, white, but sometimes they have paintings), but 障子shouji are translucent sliding doors with wooden grids. 畳tatami is flooring in traditional house.
欄間ranma(my guess w) are carved/grid "transom window" above sliding doors.
床の間tokonoma(床間) aclove for decorations, sometimes next to 仏間butsuma and often has a 掛軸kakejiku/hangingscroll as decor. 押入れoshiire is built in closet. 地袋jibukuro(red), is ground cupboard. Not the 経机kyouzukue/sutraTable, incense holder in front. Above is a frame of 無量寿/eternal life a reference for AmidaNyorai, important figure in esp. pure land sects.
茶の間chanoma(茶間) originally "tea room" for ceremony, but used like living room. similar to 居間ima, western style.
寝間nema is an old word for bedroom. 寝室shinshitsu or "bedroom" is common modern days.
Joke guess but interesting history
陰間kagema... 陰kage\shadow... "shadow space"...
painting by 鈴木春信SuzukiHarunobu of Kagema(boy prostitute) and customer.
Originally, kagema was a term for Kabuki-in-training boys, who didn't appear in stage,(in shadow space). Young boys(13-20) replaced women roles, and often did prostitution to make ends meet. Later term became synonymous with male prostitute and served men and women customers.
During later Edo period, "pinnacle of sexual passion" was experiencing men and women, so kagema "teahouses" prospered, but eventually faded until meji era's draft/changes which ended prostitution. wikilink
Random: Tsunade and Nawaki
of course Tsunade is a character from the famous goukan, "The Tale of Gallant Jiraya"
綱手tsunade is short for 綱手縄tsunadenawa in the olden days was rope to pull boat back to shore.
Tsunade's brother name in kanji 縄樹nawaki, is "rope tree", 縄nawa is thinner rope than 綱tsuna
Of course Nawaki and Tsunade names, makes me think of shintou practices of 注連縄shimenawa with 四手/紙垂shide wrapped around 神木shinboku/sacred tree, which are used to section off kami's world vs man's world.
Interesting to think about.
