Sato Hageshi – The Artist of the Empire – Signed and Numeroted 5/10

A lone Stormtrooper paints a mural of Darth Vader on a wooden wall under the warm glow of lanterns, while curious townsfolk watch in quiet amazement. Sato Hageshi reimagines the Empire’s propaganda as Edo street art — merging science fiction, satire, and traditional Ukiyo-e composition. The scene bridges two worlds: the futuristic myth of the Sith and the timeless charm of Japan’s cultural past.
