This beautiful painting is a sneak peek at Ōkami Picture Book II: Soldier from the North and the Ghost Killer. It's just one illustration from the upcoming sequel to the Ōkami picture book published late last year.

4Gamer notes that, as the Okami sequel is yet a work-in-progress, these beautiful preview images are "subject to change." Gosh, I hope not!

According to manga author/illustrator Awairo, his illustrated storybook will be released -- in Japan only! -- on March 18.
