Sato Hageshi – The Mecha Shogun – Pop Art – Signed and Numbered 3/10

This artwork reimagines the RX-78 Gundam towering over a traditional Edo-period street, depicted in the style of a classical ukiyo-e woodblock print. Cherry blossoms frame the sky as townsfolk in kimono gaze up in awe at the giant mecha, while a five-tiered pagoda rises in the background. The blend of futuristic machinery and timeless Japanese architecture creates a striking harmony — the Gundam appears less like a weapon of war and more like a guardian deity watching over the city. The scene radiates both nostalgia and wonder, bridging Japan’s cultural heritage with its vision of the future.
