"Tradition"

This piece is about family and tradition. The things that are often passed down through family are often simple things. Like a folding fan. In my own family fans are passed down from generation to generation. They have come to remind me of my grandmother and all of the strong women in my family. The cherry blossoms on the fan represent the love between parent and child.

As you move throughout Denver you might get the feeling you're being watched - by a Japanese warrior woman, almost always in red, white and black. She peeks around columns under highways and peers down from warehouse walls. Don't be alarmed; her creator Casey Kawaguchi a self taught street artist who works entirely freehand and has been evolving his nameless character for over a decade, says the battle is with him. You can find Kawaguchi's work captured in depth in the documentary short film "Mastery PT.1 & PT.2". Which has followed Kawaguchi over three and a half years of his journey.
