Description: A fierce Japanese-inspired guardian beast emerges from a mass of blooming chrysanthemums in this detailed vintage print illustration. The design blends komainu / shishi guardian-lion imagery, floral symbolism, ink drawing and distressed Japanese poster aesthetics. The prominent Asian calligraphy and seal-style marks reinforce the traditional print atmosphere, while 菊 (kiku) — chrysanthemum — is the key Japanese concept behind the floral imagery.
