About The Work

This limited edition art print is titled “Kaiju Seated Sculpture” by Otani Workshop. It is an archival pigment print with silkscreen. The image size measures approximately 13.9 inches by 11.4 inches (353 × 289 mm), and the sheet size is around 17.4 inches by 14.8 inches (441 × 377 mm). Released in 2022, this print is part of an edition of 50, with each piece signed and numbered by the artist. Edition numbers may vary from those shown in photos.

The artwork features “Tanilla,” an original character created by Otani Workshop. The name combines “Tani” from Otani and “lla” from Godzilla, reflecting the term Kaiju, which means “strange beast” or “monster” in Japanese. This charming figure, with its round eyes and zipped mouth, is shown seated on a chair inspired by Van Gogh’s iconic 1888 painting “Van Gogh’s Chair.” This whimsical fusion forms the central motif of the piece, showcasing Otani’s unique blend of storytelling and artistic vision.
