Yellow and green acrylic fish with pen outlines on a tanzaku board, with red “demon” and “ward off” characters.

Demon (Pointillism)

$190.00Price
Sales Tax Included |

Ships from Japan.

Painted in bright yellow acrylic, a hue associated in Japanese culture with “kishoku” (喜色), the color of joy, this fish embodies both protection and auspiciousness.

After laying the painted foundation, Kotaro Yamada added hand-drawn outlines and detailing with pen, giving the creature a lively presence that feels both folkloric and contemporary.


The energetic interplay of green and yellow evokes a talisman charged not only with defensive power but also with good fortune. As in the other works, the red stenciled characters and form the symbolic axis of the composition, speaking directly to the piece’s conceptual roots in Setsubun ritual.

 

A dynamic artwork ideal for collectors seeking a protective charm expressed through modern artistic language.
