TOKYO DUB AGENT COMPANY, LTD. (CEO: Kazuyoshi Takagi, hereinafter TDA) is pleased to announce the release of new art pieces that fuse the popular fighting manga "Baki-Dou" with Ukiyo-e style, available via the "AKIHABARA PREMIUM COLLECTION" e-commerce platform, which showcases ultimate works combining Akihabara otaku culture with the passion of Japanese craftsmanship. These works were created by Sapporo-based artist KOJIMAN. The pieces boldly depict the world of "Baki-Dou" using a unique style that blends traditional Japanese Ukiyo-e expression with a street culture sensibility. The products will be available in two formats: hanging scrolls (kakejiku) and giclee prints (framed), both of which will be made-to-order. Sales Site: AKIHABARA PREMIUM COLLECTION URL: https://www.akihabara-premium.com/blogs/archives/bakidou ■ Authentic Hanging Scrolls Crafted by Masters With a history spanning over 1,000 years, the art of the hanging scroll is preserved by master scroll maker Taishin Sagawa, the third-generation head of KAKEJIKUYA. Completed through traditional processes such as mounting, fabric selection, and backing, these are not mere art prints, but authentic hanging scrolls crafted one by one by masters, possessing the prestige of traditional Japanese crafts. By intersecting the art styles of the Edo period with modern fighting manga, these are special hanging scroll works that can be called "modern Ukiyo-e." ■ Reconstructing the World of "Baki-Dou" through Ukiyo-e This visual was created with the motif of the Edo-period Ukiyo-e print "The Duel of Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Ganryu on Ganryu Island" by Utagawa Yoshitora.
