Chin Resting On Hands!

There’s a Japanese word to describe the act of resting one’s chin on one’s hand(s) called “hozue”. You can often find this pose in manga and anime but also popular on fashion magazines for girls! The pose can express the act of sinking in deep thoughts, melancholy or boredom, but if you just twist your wrist a little and combine it with a dubious look it can make you look really charming. This time, we collected a series of illustrations showing how the “hozue” pose can transmit a vast range of emotions, depending on the situation and on the character.
