Oni Mask – Koi Pond Guardian

This design portrays a solitary Oni mask, softened by the presence of a vibrant koi fish and lush flower. The Oni serves as a guardian, not of evil, but of nature's delicate balance and the secrets held within the tranquil Koi pond. The mask's stern expression hints at a past of battles, yet the colorful koi and flower signify a present devotion to peace and protection of the serene aquatic world it oversees. This art captures the juxtaposition of strength and serenity, the beautiful co-existence of opposing forces.
