Description:

Portrait of Prince Taishi, who was a semi-legendary politician. There’re many mystery about him almost like a folktale. The article pointed out one of his legends–he was able to listen and understand 10 people’s conversation simultaneously.

That really hit my creative bell. I was like “Ah! Let’s put 10 birds around him while he’s taking a note!”
