Artist and edition details

Masaaki Tanaka (born Tokyo, 1947) is credited on the print with a hand signature and the edition number 20/75, confirming provenance for collectors. The handwritten annotation names the festival as Shishimai and locations the scene in Tokyo, supporting the piece’s identity as a Masaaki Tanaka print and collectible limited edition art.

Style and visual character

The composition pairs a gold field with bold, anime-tinged line work and flat color planes that recall vintage anime decor while remaining firmly within Japanese pop art and modern Japanese print traditions. The central lion dance imagery makes this work suitable as lion dance wall art or a Shishimai poster focal point.

How to display and where it works

Framing is recommended to preserve the paper and to present the signed art collector piece. At roughly 19.5" wide, the print fits well above a console, in a gallery wall arrangement, or as unique living room art in Japandi wall decor, contemporary, or eclectic interiors.
