Shaman Queen Himiko, blessed of the sun. From my story End Of Wa as well as actual Japanese history- the Queen Of Yamatai. The five rings on her staff and in her hairpiece represent the five elements and she is able to see the future with her crystal ball. The ends of her staff also represent sun and moon. The dog? in the background is used by Himiko in my novel to heal herself- she can resurrect herself from death by breaking a dog?; and she possesses over 12,000 of them.

Himiko ruled Japan 189 – 248. She did not rule in the shadow of an emperor- she ruled the entire island nation by herself. Back then, Japan was known as the kingdom of Wa.
