Description from the seller

BUNDLE!! You are bidding on 3 original hand-finished artworks from Æ’s Samurai Pikachu Series (2026), combining the iconic Pokémon character with traditional Japanese warrior imagery. Each artwork is hand-signed and individually numbered from an edition of only 4 unique variations.
◉ Total size: 37 × 66 cm. Three artworks, each measuring 37 × 22 cm.
◉ Original ink-inspired mixed-media artworks. Edition of only 4 unique variations.
◉ Hand-finished using spray paint and pastel crayons. Hand-signed and numbered.

“Samurai Pikachu: Winter Journey” (2026) depicts a solitary warrior resting among mountain landscapes, traditional Japanese architecture and delicate natural details, evoking serenity and contemplation.
“Samurai Pikachu: Sword of Lightning” (2026) presents Pikachu in elaborate samurai armour, carrying a katana beneath swirling clouds and a dramatic moonlit sky, symbolising courage, honour and the spirit of Bushidō.
“Samurai Pikachu: The Art of Stillness” (2026) portrays the warrior contemplating a mountainous landscape, surrounded by ancient temples and atmospheric scenery, celebrating the balance between strength and inner peace.
The triptych combines Edo-period woodblock prints, Sumi-e ink painting, vintage manga and Japanese folklore. Intricate engraved textures, dramatic monochrome contrasts and carefully balanced compositions create the appearance of rediscovered illustrations from an imaginary Japanese warrior chronicle.
