Cats by Anna Maia

NEW RELEASE

Hasu

by Senju

Hasu is Japanese for sacred lotus. A vital aspect of Senju’s ongoing bijinga (portraits of beautiful women) series, is his drive to explore the possibilities of irezumi, the traditional Japanese tattoo.

Only by thoroughly studying and understanding a tradition can the artist reinforce and acknowledge the hard work of those who came before. When the tradition is fully understood and respected, the possibility of expanding it will materialize. 

This is to understand and correctly use the power of Shuhari.

NEW RELEASE

Aki

by Senju

Her name is Aki and she is wearing a traditional irezumi full bodysuit tattoo depicting the legend of “Touryuumon”, in which a koi fish (carp) sacrifices its life in the struggle to jump up the famous “Dragon’s Gate” waterfall in China. Upon observing the bravery and perseverance of this koi, the gods reward it by turning it into a dragon.

NEW RELEASE

Flower garden cat

by Anna Maia

This latest addition to Anna Maia’s ongoing series of artworks pairing cats with traditional Japanese flowers and objects shows the artist’s confidence in handling this subject matter. A dramatically black cat is juxtaposed against chrysanthemums and morning glories. The folding fan at the top right is key to creating balance in this painting.
