Namakubi Flag
Namakubi 生首 - "freshly-severed head" is a grotesque and brutal Japanese motif meant to frighten and shock onlookers. It first appeared in ukiyo-e (woodblock prints) from the Edo period (1603-1868) and is still found in traditional Japanese irezumi (tattoos) today.
Depicted is a Samurai warrior vanquishing an Akuma (evil spirit) by severing his head. The implied concept of Rinne-Tensho (reincarnation) illustrates how life comes full circle. This art form also represents the impermanence of life and a willingness to accept one’s fate with honor, to exhibit courage or bravery, respect for an enemy, fearlessness, and, finally, as a warning.
- Measures 5'x3'
- 4 Heavy duty Grommets, ready to hang!
- Vibrant colors, Sublimation Dye Poly
- Lightweight and durable
*Printed on one side only. Inside use suggested.
