'Octopus Samurai of the Pearl Sea' Giclée Print
Meet Lord Takozaemon, the valiant octopus samurai who rides a swift blue fish through the Pearl Sea. With many blades and a watchful gaze, he defends his domain of coral castles.
I’m thrilled to share this original character - thanks for supporting both my fan art and personal creations!
The captions read:
海辺とは、あやうき領地。あまたの危きものがひそむ。
The coastline is a perilous domain, where many dangers lie in wait.
高貴なる蛸左衛門様は、狡猾なる敵にして、公正なる御主なり。
The noble Lord Takozaemon is a cunning foe and a just master.
満ち引く潮にもかかわらず、潮だまりは、
Whether the tide rise or fall, the tide pools rest in peace beneath his watchful eyes.
NOTE - You can choose between two paper types for your print:
1) Handmade Japanese Paper: Created by the Kikuchi Studio in Ehime Japan, this paper features a lovely mulberry texture and rough deckled edges. The overall effect makes our giclée prints look like real historical Japanese prints. I'm very proud of these!
2) Western Paper: This is a high quality 80 lb cover paper, similar to hot press watercolor paper. My art prints look stunning on its smooth, matte finish. This is the paper I usually bring to conventions, so if you have purchased art from me at a live event, you probably have this paper style.
Every print is signed by the artist.
Measures 12x17 inches.
FRAMING:
This print looks great in a standard 16 x 20 frame (US, Canada) or 40 x 50 cm (everywhere else).
Inside the frame, you can place your print over a sheet of colored paper for a lovely effect. Canson makes textured paper in many colors. It looks great at a low price. Here's a link.
