Neko and Maiko

By Elora Owakita Night falls soft and rose-colored over a narrow street, a pagoda rising against a sky full of stars. Two figures walk quietly past a maneki-neko standing watch at a doorway, its paw raised in welcome, as cherry blossoms drift overhead. There's no hurry here, just the sound of footsteps and the glow of a single paper lantern. A scene that lingers in that particular hour when a city goes quiet and something older comes forward. Printed as a giclée on museum-grade, archival fine art paper for lasting vibrancy and detail. An exclusive artwork, created by Elora Owakita.
