Description I took part in the NBC Hannibal fan artbook "Field Kabuki", and we were finally allowed to post our works!

The red spider lily, or higanbana as the Japanese call it, is probably familiar to those who are manga/anime fans (looking at Tokyo Ghoul), since it's often included to symbolize death and loss. These were the flowers that welcomed me some years back when I arrived in Japan for my exchange studies. They are one of my favourite flowers, and I thought using them in my work was rather fitting, especially since the theme of the artbook was Japan (as was the food theme of season 2). 

Also, they look a little bit like guts B)

I'm still very sad the show got cancelled, but not all hope is lost yet, resurrecting cancelled shows these days is not impossible, it just may take some time with Hannibal (there has also been some talks about a possible movie, if nothing else!)
