Team Rocket Ukiyo-e

The waves and clouds in the background look like they were ripped straight from a museum print, but the crimson R logos give it that playful edge. It's the centerpiece of my living room now — everyone who visits stops and asks about it.

The contrast between the clean Ukiyo-e waves and Team Rocket’s smug expressions is better than I expected in person, the colors really pop on the thick paper stock. It’s the first poster I’ve bought in years and it instantly made my hallway feel less boring.

The woodblock print style gives these Pokémon a dramatic, almost historical feel—the bold outlines and muted colors look fantastic framed on my wall. I’ve gotten tons of compliments from friends who don’t even know the franchise.
