A powerful full- body portrait of a Japanese warrior queen standing in a decisive battle stance, her body positioned diagonally with legs planted firmly apart and arms extended as she grips a magnificent katana. She wears an elaborate armor constructed entirely from playing cards (kings, queens, and jacks) that have been reinforced, lacquered, and assembled to mimic traditional samurai yoroi armor. The chest plate (do) features queen cards from various decks arranged in an intimidating symmetrical pattern, their edges gilded in red and gold leaf that catches the dramatic lighting. The shoulder guards (sode) are constructed from overlapping king cards that have been shaped into curved plates, creating the distinctive layered silhouette of traditional armor. The thigh and shin guards utilize jack cards arranged in a scale- like pattern, their faces creating an almost hypnotic effect when viewed up close. Her forearm guards (kote) incorporate playing card suits as connecting points between the card segments, with small tassels of red and black silk dangling from strategic points. Her helmet (kabuto) is particularly imposing—a structured crown where playing cards have been folded into three- dimensional forms resembling the dramatic curves of a traditional kabuto, topped with a crest (kuwagata) made from golden queen cards folded into sharp, fan- like shapes that frame her face. From beneath the helmet, portions of her hair escape in strategic tendrils, adorned with small golden playing card charms. Her face bears ceremonial battle makeup—white base with strategic crimson accents and playing card symbols subtly incorporated at her temples. The katana she wields has a hilt wrapped in black and red silk cords with card suits embossed on the tsuba (hand guard). Her feet are planted in a battle stance, wearing traditional split- toe tabi boots reinforced with card armor at the shins. The composition captures her in a dynamic moment, as if about to lunge forward in attack, with dramatic lighting creating sharp shadows that emphasize the dimensional construction of her unique card armor. The background suggests a traditional Japanese castle courtyard at dawn, with cherry blossoms swirling around her on an unseen wind, some petals appearing to transform into playing card suits as they flutter past her imposing silhouette
