It's common knowledge that these stories were partly inspired by Japanese films and design. It only made sense that in returning these characters to an Ukiyo-e style, I also pay homage to another obvious source of inspiration: 'Lone Wolf and Cub'. It was also a lot of fun interpreting this sci-fi/fantasy world through the lens of Japanese steampunk, which isn't actually a thing, but I enjoy pretending it is. 

The top caption says 逃去狼, which translates to 'Wolf on the Run'.

The bottom caption says 誰扶誰被扶者不可辨, which roughly means 'It's hard to say who is rescuing whom..."

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.

This print looks great in three standard 16 x 20 frames (US, Canada) or 40 x 50 cm (everywhere else).
