Gekkō Daimyō Gyōretsu (Feudal Lord's Moonlight Procession)

Gekkō Daimyō Gyōretsu (Feudal Lord's Moonlight Procession) is a 4 colour risograph in metallic gold, yellow, fluorescent pink and blue ink, printed on Munken Lynx 240gsm paper.

Inspired by an annual festival observed for the past 300 years, 大名行列- Daimyō Gyōretsu, a Feudal Lord’s procession through the town is reenacted where the protagonists, such as the Daimyo- warlord, Kannushi- priest, Hime-same- princesses are all replaced by children! Horses are dynamic speedy and powerhouses, but also more importantly they possess a meandering nature, there is a joy of a lackadaisically paced procession, appreciating what’s come before you, whilst also celebrating the things of the present. May many good things be making their way to you.

Paper size: 21 x 29.7 cm (A4).
Open edition.

Nanami Takeuchi aka Nana Sometimes Draws draws inspiration from Japanese mythology and folklore to explore her heritage, creating new narratives for well-loved and lesser-known mythical creatures. Drawing with traditional brush pens, fine liners and anything that will create interesting textures. Riso printing brings her great joy, she enjoys seeing the lines and textures translate to print in these bold fluorescent colours depicting cute and slightly gruesome scenes.
