King of entry and exit

"King of Entry and Exit" by Akio Harada is an original acrylic on canvas measuring 73 × 61 cm. This painting shows a gentle panda wearing a royal crown and cloak, standing on a soft green background. The panda’s large eyes are filled with tears, adding a tender and emotional atmosphere.  Small bubbles float around the figure, hinting at a dreamlike or magical scene. The title suggests a moment of transition—moving between beginnings and endings. Despite the panda’s royal appearance, the tears suggest sadness or reflection, creating a balance between power and vulnerability. Harada’s careful use of color and shading gives the work a warm, inviting quality. Viewers can connect with the contrast of innocence and majesty, and imagine their own stories about what the “entry” and “exit” might mean in life’s journey.
