The oni at your threshold guards more than a room — it holds the old belief that spirits walk among us, mischievous and watchful. Yokai are the shape Japan gave to fear, luck and the things that move in the dark: the shapeshifting kitsune, the trickster tanuki, the horned demon that turns misfortune away. Every metal wall art piece in this collection draws on centuries of folklore, where a spirit could be malevolent one night and protective the next. The cut lines follow the fluid, exaggerated forms of classic yokai woodblock imagery, and when light hits the steel the negative space throws the figure onto your wall in shifting shadow. These stories share roots with our Ukiyo-e prints and the wider Japanese collection, alongside the disciplines of Samurai and Zen. Laser-cut from 2mm steel in five sizes and four finishes, including Corten weathering steel. Made to order in 7-14 days.
These pieces are on their way.
