Spotted Cat — A Moment of Poise Takeuchi Seihō, Spotted Cat, 1924. A quiet study of motion and balance in modern Nihonga. Reimagined through a Western painterly lens, where softness, light, and form gently converge.

This artwork reinterprets a classic ukiyo-e portrait by Tōshūsai Sharaku, one of Edo-period Japan’s most enigmatic and influential printmakers. Originally known for his dramatic and exaggerated depictions of kabuki actors, Sharaku’s style is re-imagined here through four iconic Japanese manga aesthetics: One Piece, Dragon Ball, Naruto, and Vagabond. Each panel preserves the fierce expression of the original actor portrait while transforming it into the visual language of a different era and genre.

Inspired by the Kongōrikishi guardian statues of Tōdai-ji Temple in Japan — legendary masterpieces carved in 1203 by the Buddhist sculptors Unkei and Kaikei. Once protectors of sacred gates, their spirit is reborn here across four different manga universes, transcending time, form, and storytelling.
Framing the Infinite — Mount Fuji Through Human Hands Katsushika Hokusai’s “Fugaku Sanjūrokkei: Bishū Fujimigahara” captures Mount Fuji not as a distant monument, but as a presence woven into daily life. Seen through the circular frame of a craftsman’s work, Fuji becomes both subject and symbol—eternal, immovable, yet quietly observed amid human labor. This bold composition, where geometry meets nature, reflects Hokusai’s radical vision: the sacred and the ordinary existing in the same moment. A reminder that even the infinite can be glimpsed through the work of our hands.
