POPSAN - Kintsugi Jiji Under Kiki's Bow (キキのリボンと金継ぎのジジ) - UNIQUE WORK

THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD — EDITION 1/1

In this square format, Popsan depicts Jiji, the black cat from Studio Ghibli’s Kiki’s Delivery Service, beneath a nighttime downpour. Sitting perfectly upright, with his tail curled in front of his paws, he holds a twig in his raised paw like the handle of an umbrella. At the end of the twig, Kiki’s enormous red bow opens up to shield him from the rain. His large white eyes and tiny pink nose gaze at the viewer with startled concern.
A network of golden lines runs across his entire body, from his ears to the tip of his tail, breaking up his silhouette into shards with plum and midnight-blue reflections. Around him, the background is deep black; fine streaks of rain fall, forming circles on the ground in the puddles. In the bottom right, the cartouche メドサン in red lettering. Black, the bow’s vivid red, and the gold of the cracks share the image. It evokes a fragile tenderness, that of a companion holding on through the storm.

A delicate, graphic work, ideal for adding a poetic touch to the home of a collector passionate about Japanese animation.
