The Fan and the Flame
扇風機と炎
Ready-to-hang Premium Wooden Framed Poster With Museum-Quality Matte Paper
Edo-Era Inspired Yakuza Portrait
His hair is untamed. His stare, unflinching. Wearing a flowing kimono of deep violet and rusted orange, the old yakuza holds a folding fan — not to cool himself, but to signal stillness before the next move. His face is marked with delicate tattoos, etched like memory. A man of violence and honor, presence and silence.
Rendered in the spirited linework of Katsushika Hokusai, but layered with a grunge aesthetic — faded textures, rough shadows, subtle distortion — this piece walks a line between reverence and rebellion.
It is an image not just of a man, but of a legacy lived and worn. Tradition, here, is not polite — it is alive, marked, and enduring.
In the spirit of Onko Chishin — 温故知新: “To honour the past by letting it shape the present with truth.”
For collectors who seek beauty where edges remain rough. For rooms that welcome stories with scars.
