Dance of the Dragon
Tatsu no Mai
龍の舞
Classic Semi-Glossy Paper Metal Framed Poster 70x100 cm / 28x40″
Fierce and festive, wild and reverent — this 1890-style woodblock print explodes with the ritual power of the dragon dance. In a swirl of movement and myth, we see a community gathered in spirited defiance of fear and misfortune. The dragon, a creature of both chaos and blessing, rears across the frame, met not with retreat, but rhythm.
This is a scene alive with tradition — a dance handed down, not to preserve stillness, but to activate renewal. Bright reds clash against clouded blues, while every figure becomes a brushstroke of inherited purpose.
As in the philosophy of Onko Chishin (温故知新) — “to learn new things by studying the past” — this piece embodies a wisdom that charges forward. By summoning what was, it clears the way for what will be. The past is not a monument here — it's momentum.
Let Tatsu no Mai hang where energy is needed. Where courage is called for. Where the memory of tradition is not something distant, but something danced.
