A New Zealand pīwakawaka (fantail) finds itself within a dreamlike Japanese landscape in this cross-cultural composition commissioned by Yotsugi Inc. for Edwin Jeans Japan. Rendered in stylised forms, the bird flits between blossoming pines, floating lanterns, and distant mountains, its movement traced by a delicate, cloud-like path.
Blending the spirit of Aotearoa’s native wildlife with the elegance of traditional Japanese design, Fantail (Pīwakawaka) speaks to the way symbols travel—adapting across place, context, and culture.
Part of the Edwin Visual Council’s artist collaboration series, the piece sits at the intersection of fashion, art, and identity.
