Seek inspiration and protection with the enchanting Japanese yokai, Amabie. She rises from the ocean, a harbinger of prosperity and a talisman against illness. With her unique visage—beaked face, three tails, scaled skin, and vibrant, rainbow hair—this artwork embodies hope and the wonderful strangeness of the bond between nature and humanity.

"Look to the Sea" is an ideal addition to a collection that values brilliant color and beauty in the service of a message of optimism.
