{"product_id":"winter-farming-scene-katsushika-isai","title":"Winter Farming Scene - Katsushika Isai","description":"\u003cp\u003eA delicate Japanese fan painting by Katsushika Isai, depicting a rural winter scene with precise brushwork and soft, atmospheric colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKatsushika Isai, a student of the celebrated Katsushika Hokusai, produced this delicate fan painting during the late Edo period. The work depicts a rural winter scene, capturing the quiet activity of farmers amidst rolling hills. The composition follows the traditional format of a folding fan, which necessitates a curved arrangement of figures and terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsai employs a soft colour palette, using muted blues, greens, and earthy tones to suggest the chill of the season. The figures are rendered with precise, economical brushwork, typical of the Ukiyo-e school's approach to genre subjects. The hills are depicted with gentle washes, creating a sense of distance and atmospheric depth. The trees, scattered across the slopes, provide a rhythmic structure to the scene, guiding the eye across the fan's surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFan paintings were a popular medium for artists of this era, often serving as both functional objects and portable canvases for artistic expression. This piece demonstrates the technical skill required to balance a narrative scene within the constraints of a fan's ribs and folds. The verso of this object features an autumn farming scene, a common practice for fan painters to provide seasonal variety for the owner. The work remains a fine example of the period's interest in rural life and the changing seasons, presented with the characteristic refinement of the Hokusai lineage.\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\/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\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/frolicking-figures-and-animals-kawanabe-kyosai\" 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;\"\u003eFrolicking Figures and Animals - Kawanabe Kyōsai — Kawanabe Kyōsai\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Katsushika Isai","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58961576165711,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58961579934031,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58961579966799,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58961579999567,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58961580032335,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58961580065103,"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":58961580097871,"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":58961580130639,"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":58961580163407,"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":58961580196175,"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":58961580228943,"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":58961580261711,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Winter-Farming-Scene_Poster_CompositorV1_1790751737269.jpg?v=1790752361","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/winter-farming-scene-katsushika-isai","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
