Demon Slayer Kakemono - Obanai Iguro, portrait

Obanai Iguro, the portrait

The lower part of his face disappears under a light bandage, leaving only a dark lock of hair, a forehead, and a golden eye. The framing cuts off half of what remains: it is the most closed of the nine portraits.

This accumulation of hidden elements—the bandage, the half-framing, the lock of hair in front of the eye—is what makes the image. You try to see more, but you can't. The gold of the iris is the only warm note in an off-white and black ensemble, and it's to this that the gaze returns. To be hung at eye level, in a place where one lingers.

Why you'll love it

• The most closed portrait: bandage, half-framing, lock of hair in front of the eye—you try to see more, but you never can.
• A kakemono, not a poster: the canvas comes mounted between two wooden rods, with its cord. You hang it on a nail, a thumbtack, or a coat hook, without a frame, without a mat, and without drilling four holes.
• 3 sizes, from the discreet 25 × 75 cm to the large 40 × 120 cm: enough to adorn a door frame or an entire wall.
• The rods pull the canvas downwards: no warping, no curled corners, and the roll comes off in two seconds when you want to change the decor.

Is there another visual of this character?

Yes, a scroll from the series seen from behind, with his white snake coiled on his shoulder. The two complement each other well.

Is the bandage pure white?

It's an off-white, slightly grey, which avoids creating too harsh a spot in the middle of the black. The matte canvas print makes it glare-free.

In the same universe from us: the raised katana and the red calligraphy.
