Ukiyo-E Re-Mix Series: Fight or Flight April 17, 2009

Continuing the visual history explored in 'The Samurai Re-Imagined: From Ukiyo-e to Anime,' Moira Hahn's work fuses Ukiyo-e, or pictures of the floating world, iconography and style with images from contemporary culture and her own fertile imagination. Hahn re-imagines scenes found in traditional Japanese prints, transforming human samurai into ferocious yet elegant feline and avian warriors.
