Anime cel print
The cel print, from Space Battleship Yamato (late 1970s), captures the climactic encounter between Susumu Kodai and Leader Dessler amid destruction and flame. Kodai stands with weapon in hand, facing the man who has been both enemy and mirror, as the wreckage burns around them. The scene marks the breaking point between vengeance and understanding—a still image charged with motion, pride, and loss.

Obi
The background combines two sections of Nishijin-woven obi, where gold threads shift like molten light beside silk dyed in deep orange. The texture carries the same intensity as the burning backdrop of the cel, heightening the confrontation’s atmosphere. The tactile surface of the weave anchors the moment’s volatility in material form—fire translated into fiber.
