One of A Kind Skateboard
Mysterious Spirited Ghost Skateboard
This skateboard mainly
focuses on the creepy skeletal monsters in Mr. Tanaami’s artworks. This work is
composed of symmetrical element. Skeletal monsters often appear in his artworks.
They are represented as war casualties. At the same time, they also imply that
people live in fear. The strong light was emitted, reflecting the Japanese
army's searchlight on the American bombers in the memory of his childhood
memories. The grandfather's goldfish also implies the wartime memory! This
skateboarding is not just a skateboard. It is also like a meaningful artwork. It
is great to hang on the wall or use it as a skateboard. It reflects a sense of
understanding of the wartime history and urban cultural style! The skateboard
is made of wood
