The image you’ve selected is terrific. I would *never* have juxtaposed the low-key ‘pastel-on-canvas’ with Chinese restaurant gold-n-red gaudy type, and it works great!
That unabashedly auspiciously-colored title, plus the 2 ‘antennae’ plumes atop the kanji for tori recall the mythological phoenix (symbolic of the Chinese empress; dragon symbolizes emperor). The designers managed to tell an entire fable with this image alone. 3 * (Banzai!)
