Rising Koi and Lotus Half Sleeve

Description

This vibrant piece features a rising orange koi battling stylized black waves, framed by a glowing lotus and small cherry blossoms. Rendered in a Japanese irezumi approach with saturated color and strong linework, it flows as a half-sleeve over the upper arm and shoulder. The koi represents perseverance and good fortune, while the lotus signifies purity and rebirth; cherry blossoms add a reminder of life’s fleeting beauty.
