The fearless onna-bugeisha 女武芸者
Long before the emergence of the renowned samurai class, Women learned to use the naginata and the art of tantojutsu on the battlefield. One such woman, later known as Empress Jingū (c. 169–269 AD), was legendarily recognized as the onna bugeisha who led an invasion of Korea in 200 AD .. hundreds years before the birth of feminist movement Here is the Limited Edition Onna print serie.
In conjunction with the launch of our new Halfsumo.com website we have decided to release some private stock of our Master Level prints.
What is a Master Level Print? Printed exclusively for our BUDO INK art event/block party held in Bushwick Brooklyn NY at the end of last year, only 10 pieces of this print are currently in existence. The few pieces we listed here are the few we kept for our own private stock.
Master Level Prints are not your ordinary art print - at approximately 24”x36” - this thing is massive, and it’s the only size we could respectfully portray these masters, and the intricate details of the Half Sumo irezumi style drawings.
In regards to the paper used, we didn’t hold any punches and went for the most expensive and highest quality one on the market. To avoid unnecessary glare with chose a premium double weight matte finish, with a semi smooth surface that gives to the print an almost organic feel to the touch.
Printed through the highest available digital process possible this print is signed and hand numbered
