"Moon With a View" Size: 2.46" Price: SOLD


This is one of my all time favorite Rose Roads designs - a frog clutching the moon, with a frog clutching the pendant! Kengtaro added the frog on the outside of course, his signature style, and put the pendant together as well. Perfection, and SO nicely done! Junichi proudly explained to me at the Vancouver Team Japan show (where this came from) that his wife actually drew the design of the frog holding the moon. Jun then brought it to life in his famous micro-dot style, with perfection in tech, color and execution. The whole image is so, SOOO tight!! And check out the shading in the various areas, with the different blues in the space scene around the moon, etc. Absolutely brilliant, and just when we thought Jun couldn't possibly take it to yet another level! AND, on top of all of this, Kengtaro was one of Jun's three teachers, and the first one to teach him when he was learning the basics. It's always awesome to see master and student come together to create something, and especially after that student has become one of the greatest masters in the world himself. This piece is one for the ages, soooo hard to let go of. Signed 'Kengtaro 16 Rose Roads'.
