Martial Felines Trilogy by Hiro ANDO

In the series Martial Felines Trilogy, Hiro Ando introduces three feline guardians—Shoguncat, Ninjacat, and Kungfucat—each inspired by Asian martial traditions. Blending warrior symbolism with the playful language of Nippon Neo-Pop, the sculptures explore discipline, strategy, and inner balance. Their rounded forms and glossy surfaces unite strength and softness, transforming ancient martial archetypes into contemporary icons of resilience, harmony, and self-mastery in a rapidly changing world.
