The wall, approximately 160 square metres, was both the largest wall of the festival and the largest wall ever painted by the artist. Inspired by Nio statues he encountered guarding a temple outside of Kyoto as a teenager, Koryu depicts the wooden statues here almost life-sized, stretching nearly 8 metres high. The statues, constructed in wood (made by just 20 people over a span of 69 days) over 800 years ago, stand sentry at the entrance to the temple, guardians and protectors (similar statues can be found at temples across Japan). The figures are notable for the open and closed mouths of the warriors, signifying the in and out breath, the sounds of the first and last characters, the beginning and the end of all things, the cyclical nature of existence. The central circle form, washed in teal and red like the background (the colours the statues were originally painted), emphasises this concept and gives a dynamic power to the composition.\r\nDrawing on the shared experiences and impacts of natural disasters faced by Otautahi and the Tohuku region of Japan (both suffering major earthquakes, and in Japan a massive tsunami, within weeks of each other in 2011), Koryu conceived of the mural and the figures as guardians watching over the city.\r\nThe Flare Street Art Festival is a mural festival based in Otautahi Christchurch, for more information visit https://flare.nz", "image": "artwork/Koryus_depiction_of_Nio_warriors_is_an_impressive_new_city_landmark.jpg", "watermarked_image": "API_artwork/Koryus_depiction_of_Nio_warriors_is_an_impressive_new_city_landmark-watermarked.jpg", "cropping": "0,273,4096,2808", "cropped_image": "artwork/Koryus_depiction_of_Nio_warriors_is_an_impressive_new_city_landmark.jpg.10000x10000_q85_box-0,273,4096,2808_crop_detail.jpg", "photo_credit": null, "photo_credit_email": null, "city": "Christchurch", "link": null, "location": "SRID=4326;POINT (172.6408610379466 -43.53484898947256)", "validated": true, "street": null, "admin_notes": "", "map_enabled": true, "smart_cities": true, "slug": "a-hum-the-beginning-and-the-end", "submitter_description": "", "submitter_name": null, "submitter_email": null, "video_url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdzklKrq2q8&t=1402s", "artists": [566], "crews": [], "likes": [], "checkins": []}}, {"model": "streetart.artwork", "pk": 516, "fields": {"category": 21, "title": null, "commission_date": null, "status": 1, "decommission_date": null, "description": "", "image": "artwork/JacobYikes_InnovPrec_lchan.jpg", "watermarked_image": "API_artwork/JacobYikes_InnovPrec_lchan-watermarked.jpg", "cropping": "394,384,1801,1253", "cropped_image": "artwork/JacobYikes_InnovPrec_lchan.jpg.10000x10000_q85_box-394,384,1801,1253_crop_detail.jpg", "photo_credit": null, "photo_credit_email": null, "city": "Christchurch", "link": null, "location": "SRID=4326;POINT (172.6398632721975 -43.53505927382622)", "validated": true, "street": "Innovation Precinct", "admin_notes": "", "map_enabled": true, "smart_cities": true, "slug": "516", "submitter_description": "", "submitter_name": null, "submitter_email": null, "video_url": "https://youtu.be/DVZ0weqetLk", "artists": [356], "crews": [67, 68], "likes": [], "checkins": []}}, {"model": "streetart.artwork", "pk": 865, "fields": {"category": 33, "title": null, "commission_date": null, "status": 1, "decommission_date": null, "description": "A disheveled toy doll, dressed in a sack and with a tear running down her cheek, holds out her hand from the shadowy, boarded-up entrance to a damaged and abandoned building in central Christchurch.
