Hannya and Peonies — Black & Grey Japanese Panel

Beschreibung

A detailed black-and-grey Japanese panel showing a menacing Hannya mask woven through layered peony blooms and swirling smoke. Strong contrast, dotwork shading and bold outlines give depth and movement. The Hannya represents jealousy, transformation and protective warding in Japanese folklore; peonies symbolize bravery and prosperity. Suited to wrap the calf/shin as a dramatic Irezumi-style piece.
