The miko, the consecrated shrine maiden of the Shinto faith who attends the needs of the gods, is a staple archetype of both mainstream Japanese culture, and of 2D visual culture, whether serving as a symbol of dutiful virgin innocence, or, more appealingly, as a potent sorceress battling supernatural foes. Cutting such an appealing figure in either case, it is no wonder that artistic representations of them abound so.
Here, a formidable array of delightful miko has been prepared for your perusal, so many in fact that I have split the series across a number of galleries. There are no thematic separations made between the galleries, so you should hopefully find them all equally pleasing.

It is a prize wrenched from the clinging hands of the Vippers in their dark haunts, brought out into the light of day to enrich and edify. This was such a rich haul that I have elected to split it thematically into roughly even halves of natural settings versus artificial settings. Behold the natural settings.

More plundering of the Vipper haunts, this time the theme is 3D Japanese girls with extremely appealing faces. I think some of these images may be more suited for admiring than for using, but by all means do as you see fit.

Here is a gallery of young Japanese ladies wearing particularly stylish swimsuits (sukumizu wearing girls need not apply), plundered from some Vippers. Some of them look quite wet.
