Note from the artist on this work:
“When I adapt a scene into Ukiyo-e, I usually translate all the scene’s elements into an 1800s Edo period style.
However, for this particular print I decided to work in the modern Shin-hanga style, which is known for its realism and much more complex color schemes.
Because of this, I did not adapt the design of the robot’s armor. Instead I wanted to focus on the anachronism between a futuristic mobile suit walking through an 1800s temple scene. The contrast is quite stunning I think!
The left cartouche reads – and the furigana (tiny characters next to the kanji) literally say “mobile suit”.
The right cartouche says , which means, “No matter how many times they get wiped away, we will never stop replanting the flowers.”.”
