I call my style "ink pop art".
It expresses traditional materials that have been drawn for a long time through the concept of pop art.
For example, it is "Seven Lucky Gods", "Mt. Fuji", "Daruma", or "Maneki-neko"...
I entrust the message from the material's perspective and the idea of good fortune to the brush.
