003: Ryū

Inspired by traditional Japanese imagery, Ryū centers around a powerful black dragon winding through a minimalist landscape. A deep red sun, Japanese-inspired clouds, Mount Fuji, and a peaceful countryside scene create a contrast between strength and tranquility.

The character 力 (chikara) appears above the sun, representing strength and power. The intentionally minimal composition allows the dragon to remain the focal point while the landscape grounds the piece.

The deck combines bold black linework with blue, red, and green accents for a traditional-inspired aesthetic interpreted through a contemporary skateboard canvas.
