"IZAKAYA TORA" ist ein Eröffnungsplakat für eine japanische Izakaya im von Irezumi inspirierten Ukiyo-e-Stil. Ein brüllender oranger Tiger krallt sich an riesige schwarze Pinselbuchstaben, umgeben von indigoblauen Wellen, roten Ahornblättern, rosa Pfingstrosen und einer roten Sonne, darunter ein rotes Datumsbanner. Name, Eröffnungsdatum, Uhrzeiten und Speisenangebot lassen sich austauschen.

A full-bleed Japanese irezumi-style grand opening poster for an izakaya, drawn like an Edo woodblock print on cream washi paper with subtle woodblock grain in the flat colour areas. Flat even daylight, no glow, no cast shadows. SUBJECT: a huge snarling tiger fills the middle of the frame, body sweeping diagonally from lower left up to the upper right, mouth wide open with white fangs and a vermilion tongue, eyes glaring in gold and black. Golden-orange fur with bold black stripes and bold black outlines, white cream highlights on the chest and cheeks, one claw raised. Around it: red, orange and gold maple leaves falling and swirling, a few peonies in peony pink with jade leaves at the lower corners. The background is packed edge to edge with curling indigo and black wind bars graded smoothly into the gaps, stylised cream-edged clouds, and crashing indigo waves with curled claw-like foam tips along the bottom. Palette: vermilion red, deep indigo, jade green, golden yellow, peony pink, black, cream. TEXT, three tiers. Top: a small cream rectangular plate with a thin black border in the upper area, carrying the words "GRAND OPENING" in small black brush capitals. Middle: the title "IZAKAYA TORA" in two stacked lines, "IZAKAYA" smaller above and "TORA" very large below, filling about 70% of the poster width, in thick, slightly condensed sumi-black brush letters with a 3:1 thick-to-thin ratio and clean decisive terminals, like a sake label or shop sign. A thin cream outline around the letters keeps them legible against the dense background, and the tiger's tail and paws overlap the edges of the letters. Bottom: on a vermilion banner band with a black outline over the waves, the text "FRIDAY, MARCH 6" in cream brush capitals. Directly beneath, in small cream letters on an indigo strip, "Doors open 5 PM · Sake · Yakitori · Good Company". All text spelled exactly as quoted.
