Happy birthday to Miko~♪
"Cha cha cha!"
February 7th 2024 marks the 1450th birthday of the Crown Prince Toyosatomimi no Miko (aka the chairman of TouhouFest), who doesn't look a day under 20!
...We might need to restock on candles, though.

Is Sannyo's pipe alive?
The argument could definitely be made, and many artists even like to give Sannyo's pipe life or make it incredibly lifelike.
(On the left is her Unconnected Marketeers card art, the right is example fan art)
Because every time you see it, it's remarkably easy to imagine it being alive, especially when it's in color.
Why are the clouds white when the dragon is green? Sure, decorative mother of pearl clouds would look beautiful with her pipe but still.....
(Assuming it isn't alive, my imagination makes Sannyo's tastes more expensively tacky by the second)
These strange traits lead to a lot of living or lifelike pipe interpretations in art and doujin.
[Link to source at the end]
The possible signs her pipe is alive don't end in Unconnected Marketeers, they continue in Lotus Eaters.
One example is when she refills her pipe. She just sticks the head in the bag. Which means one of two things. Either it's got a cute grabbing mechanism in the jaw, or the jaw is part of a real mouth and she's feeding it.
the last example hides in plane sight. The Dragon section of her pipe's dimensions keep changing and sometimes the dragon's whole neck shape is completely different.
Now while any rational person would admit that this is obviously because it's hard for any artist to get the angle and perspective right every time, but we are crafting a conspiracy theory.
Its totally moving.......
There are more extreme bends as well.
Sometimes the shape changes all together
and sometimes it gets much wider
it's really amazing how Lotus Eaters and Unconnected Marketeers manage to show her pipe in a way that leaves it open to guessing, even after all the screentime her pipe has been given. It really does feel alive.
in conclusion: it's so cool all sources manage to keep it like this. No artist needs to feel like any interpretation is canonicaly wrong. You can make it crazy alive or crazy expensive or super simple and it still feels like her pipe. It's really cool.
