{"product_id":"gyoran-kannon-miyagawa-choshun","title":"Gyoran Kannon - Miyagawa Chōshun","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined hanging scroll painting of the Gyoran Kannon by the Edo-period master Miyagawa Chōshun, featuring delicate ink and colour work on silk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hanging scroll depicts the Gyoran Kannon, or the Fish-Basket Kannon, a manifestation of the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Miyagawa Chōshun, a painter active during the mid-Edo period, avoids the mass-produced woodblock print format in favour of hand-painted silk. This allows for a greater degree of fluidity in the brushwork, particularly in the rendering of the figure's robes and the delicate facial features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kannon stands in a three-quarter profile, holding a basket containing a fish, which is the defining attribute of this specific iconographic form. The figure is draped in a white kimono adorned with floral patterns, accented by red sashes that provide a visual counterpoint to the muted, aged tone of the silk background. Behind the figure, stalks of bamboo are painted with calligraphic precision, suggesting a quiet, secluded setting. The composition is balanced, with the verticality of the bamboo stalks echoing the standing posture of the Kannon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChōshun was known for his focus on the beauty of the human form, often depicting women in contemporary dress. In this work, he applies that aesthetic sensibility to a religious subject. The calligraphy integrated into the upper portion of the scroll adds a layer of textual depth, typical of the period's appreciation for the synthesis of visual art and literature. The work reflects the technical skill of the Miyagawa school, which prioritised the painterly quality of the line over the graphic boldness seen in later Ukiyo-e prints. The aged silk provides a warm, neutral ground that unifies the composition, allowing the subtle colours of the robes to remain the primary focus for the viewer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/mountains-and-rivers-along-the-kisokaido-utagawa-hiroshige\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMountains and Rivers Along the Kisokaidō - Utagawa Hiroshige — Utagawa Hiroshige\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/jo-and-uba-of-takasago-looking-at-the-rising-sun-totoya-hokkei\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eJo and Uba of Takasago Looking at the Rising Sun - Totoya Hokkei — Totoya Hokkei\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Miyagawa Chōshun","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58810458636623,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58810476822863,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58810476855631,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58810476888399,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58810476921167,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58810476953935,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58810476986703,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58810477019471,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58810477052239,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58810477085007,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58810477117775,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58810477150543,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Gyoran-Kannon_Poster_CompositorV1_1789681605618.jpg?v=1789707667","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/gyoran-kannon-miyagawa-choshun","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
