Mikado Pocky Emperor
I have represented these four particular things in my work, there is the character Ryūgamine Mikado dressed in clothes that the shōgun (Emperor of Japan) wore under the Edo/Tokugawa period (1603-1868). Mikado is eating Pocky and there are two packages of them and one in his hand. In front of him is all 41 sticks of the game Mikado.

Setting
The setting is supposed to give a feeling of Edo/Tokugawa period, and I believe I succeded with that. At the beginning of the process of my work I thought about coloring it in the same style as the art from the Edo/Tokugawa period, but I did not because it was not that easy. In other words, I could not mimic the style... But still, I am very satisfied.

High position
Also, I am glad that Mikado can refer to Emperor of Japan,
since Ryūgamine Mikado is the head/admin of the DOLLARS after all. A somewhat high position that slightly resembles the one of the Emperor of Japan. I think I managed to make him look as being in a high position, I can imagine this could be the DOLLARS headquarters.

Idea
How did I come up with this idea? I came up with this idea some months ago but I did not have the time to draw it until now. I believe I did a search on "Mikado" at Wikipedia. The search results in "Mikado may refer to:" and like 20 different articles of Mikado. I found 4 articles that I liked and the Idea of a drawing came to my mind.
