I watched this anime last fall and it claimed my heart! Yoshiki’s indecision between protecting the town, and losing his best friend, is a heartbreaking dilemma to watch unfold. I haven’t read the manga yet… so I’m hoping for a happy ending(?)

This print is my love letter to the Japanese countryside. Many years ago when I was younger, I lived in suburban and rural Japan for two years. I quickly fell in love with rice fields, the green mountains, and the hum of summer cicadas. I hope this design transports you to the Japanese countryside as well!

The captions at the top translate to: The Summer Hikaru Died and also, Whatever you are, having you by my side is better than not having you at all.

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.
