Really love this piece, I completely agree with what Felix Lu posted on Instagram about this: Toshiro Mifune + Akira Kurosawa + Yuko Shimizu = GOLD!

I had a feeling it might end up with you;) As a film nut, you got what happen to be some of my personal favorite Yuko pieces, too. Congrats!

I was on the look-out since Yuko posted it last summer (it might have actually been in the background of a post)!

The character acting is so great; such a menacing face and powerful pose. Love the composition with the centipede circle. Looks almost like a banner with calligraphy in the abstract.
