Oni, Koi Traditional Art

An Oni mask and a koi fish sharing one long composition, fierce spirit above, graceful current below, with floral details woven through the space between them. It is the tension of traditional Japanese work in miniature: menace and serenity made to coexist. Size & Placement At 6 x 18 inches it runs the length of a forearm-to-elbow stretch, the calf, or the spine, wearing like a panel from a larger bodysuit. Semi-Permanent Ink, No Needles Semi-permanent ink deepens over 24 hours, swims for up to 10 days, then fades cleanly from the surface. Zero needles.
