Kiku Chrysanthemum with Waves and Koi

Description

Bold Japanese-style forearm piece featuring a large kiku (chrysanthemum) in yellow and red, set against classic black-and-grey wave shading and a partial koi motif. Chrysanthemums symbolize longevity and rejuvenation; waves represent movement and strength, while the koi suggests perseverance. Strong outlines and saturated color create a traditional irezumi aesthetic suited to a sleeve.
