Reiko Okamoto Collaboration Skateboard Deck (Matte x Pearl Print)

【Product Features】

• Original graphic art that reinterprets the culture and folklore of humans and animals
  An original work by graphic designer/illustrator Reiko Okamoto. Born from her unique background as a former veterinarian and natural science book editor, the artwork offers a profound gaze into the skeletal and morphological beauty of living creatures, as well as mythology and folklore. Motivated by tigers and divine beasts, "PHREE HEADS TIGER" exudes a one-of-a-kind presence that combines intellect with wild beauty.

• A "matte x pearl print" that evokes the profound presence of an ancient encyclopedia
  To bring out the rich texture reminiscent of printmaking and stenciling, a high-quality "matte print" with reduced gloss is used as the base. Furthermore, by layering "special pearl ink" on the animals' eyes and sacred motifs, a delicate pearlescent glow emerges depending on the angle of the light, creating a mystical sense of depth.

• Natural wood design that highlights the unique grain
  Based on a "Basic Natural Deck" made from light, milky-white Chinese maple, the organic warmth of natural wood harmonizes beautifully with the detailed, academic beauty of the graphics.

• Twin-tail design ideal for interior spaces
  Features elegant proportions with a nose and tail of the same design (twin-tail specification, 8.0 inches). By using the separately sold plasterboard pin-compatible hook or dedicated stand, it can be displayed as an art panel that transforms your room into a sophisticated space like a study or natural history gallery without significantly damaging the wall.
