This is a 100% true story: Our debut at the Toronto night market, a middle aged blonde lady came to us. As usual, I explained what these are, she nodded and left. Completely normal. Few minutes later, she came back and started going through the print
I don’t know what Genghis Khan was like, but I imagine it would felt something like facing Asashoryu. Look closely, and you ll see his opponents wrestling with fear long before the tachiai. Speed, power, tactics, a perfect sumo warrior. Must

Aonishiki’s story is multi dimensional, and the design should reflect just that. Of course, the same level of dedication also goes to Hoshoryu, and Atamifuji. Let’s take a deep dive into the design behind the sumo keychains, from their fr
