Bring ornamental drama to a jacket back or wall hanging with this anime-inspired martial arts character framed by dragons, smoke-like swirls and floral scrollwork. The spiky-haired fighter stands at the centre in a robe-like outfit, while two large Asian dragons coil around the square border and a smaller dragon head adds extra intensity. Worked in black, cream, beige and earthy taupe-brown shades, it has a strong monochrome look that will appeal to anime fans who want something more refined than a bright, cartoon finish.
This is a dense, heavily stitched nine-colour design, so it suits fabrics with enough body to support the detail, such as denim, canvas, twill and sturdy sweatshirt fleece. It looks especially striking on the back of a bomber jacket, the front of a hoodie, a tote panel or a decorative cushion where the frame and swirling background can read clearly. With 12 size options from 3" to 10", it can work as anything from a compact statement on a sleeve or chest to a full centrepiece design.
