Trained in the Maruyama-Shijo school, he combined traditional Japanese ink wash techniques with a modern observation of nature. This work displays his ability to capture the character of animals through minimal, precise brushwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition features two puppies rendered with a focus on negative space. One puppy is depicted in a light, outline-heavy style, while the other is rendered with darker, textured ink washes to suggest fur. The contrast between the two animals creates a sense of movement and interaction. Gyokushō uses the absorbent quality of the silk to allow the ink to bleed softly, providing a sense of volume and softness to the subjects. The artist avoids unnecessary background detail, ensuring the viewer focuses entirely on the posture and expressions of the puppies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGyokushō taught at the Tokyo Fine Arts School, where he influenced a generation of painters to balance traditional aesthetics with contemporary realism. His work often features subjects from the natural world, rendered with a sensitivity that avoids sentimentality. The subtle application of colour, visible in the eyes and the artist's seal, provides a quiet balance to the monochrome ink. This print captures the essence of his approach, where the economy of line conveys a complete sense of form and personality. It is a fine example of late nineteenth-century Japanese ink painting, reflecting a period when artists sought to maintain traditional techniques while engaging with new visual perspectives.\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=\"\/nl\/products\/egret-on-bamboo-branch-hishida-shunso\" 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;\"\u003eEgret on Bamboo Branch - Hishida Shunso — Hishida Shunso\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/fisherman-in-a-mist-enshrouded-landscape-hishida-shunso\" 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;\"\u003eFisherman in a Mist-Enshrouded Landscape - Hishida Shunsō — Hishida Shunsō\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kawabata Gyokushō","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072272204111,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072315294031,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072315326799,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59072315359567,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59072315392335,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59072315425103,"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":59072315457871,"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":59072315490639,"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":59072315523407,"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":59072315556175,"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":59072315588943,"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":59072315621711,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/A-Pair-of-Puppies_Poster_CompositorV1_1791516850295.jpg?v=1791517308"},{"product_id":"preliminary-drawing-of-three-deer-ogata-korin","title":"Preliminary Drawing of Three Deer - Ogata Kōrin","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined ink study of three deer by Ogata Kōrin, mounted upon a delicate hanging-scroll painting of flowering bush clover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work presents a unique composition by the Japanese master Ogata Kōrin, a central figure of the Rinpa school. The piece features a preliminary ink sketch of three deer, rendered with fluid, calligraphic lines that capture the animals in motion. This sketch is mounted directly onto a larger hanging-scroll painting that depicts flowering bush clover (hagi). The juxtaposition of the spontaneous, minimalist deer study against the more finished, decorative botanical background creates a dialogue between the artist's initial creative impulse and the final, formal presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKōrin is celebrated for his ability to balance decorative design with expressive brushwork. In this instance, the deer are depicted with an economy of line that suggests their form without unnecessary detail. The surrounding bush clover, painted in soft washes of ink and subtle colour, provides a seasonal context often associated with autumn in Japanese literature and art. The mounting of the sketch onto the scroll suggests that this was a deliberate aesthetic choice, perhaps intended to preserve a valued study while integrating it into a larger, harmonious composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rinpa style is known for its use of bold, simplified forms and the application of gold or silver backgrounds, though here the focus remains on the interplay between the ink lines and the paper texture. The work reflects the artist's mastery of brush control, where every stroke serves a purpose in defining the posture and grace of the deer. By combining a preparatory sketch with a finished painting, the scroll offers a rare glimpse into the creative process of an Edo-period artist. It remains a fine example of the aesthetic sensibilities that defined the Rinpa tradition, prioritising elegance, rhythm, and the careful observation of nature.\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=\"\/nl\/products\/memory-of-a-voyage-rene-magritte\" 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;\"\u003eMemory of a Voyage - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/quail-and-millet-kiyohara-yukinobu\" 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;\"\u003eQuail and Millet - Kiyohara Yukinobu — Kiyohara Yukinobu\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ogata Kōrin","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072272826703,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072313491791,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072313524559,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59072313557327,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59072313590095,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59072313622863,"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":59072313655631,"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":59072313688399,"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":59072313721167,"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":59072313753935,"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":59072313786703,"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":59072313819471,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Preliminary-Drawing-of-Three-Deer_Poster_CompositorV1_1791516227496.jpg?v=1791517320"},{"product_id":"recently-imported-big-elephant-ichiryusai-yoshitoyo","title":"Recently Imported Big Elephant - Ichiryūsai Yoshitoyo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 1863 woodblock print by Ichiryūsai Yoshitoyo depicting an elephant, a subject of great curiosity in Japan during the Bakumatsu period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis woodblock print by Ichiryūsai Yoshitoyo, dating from 1863, captures a moment of fascination during the Bakumatsu period in Japan. As the country began to open its ports to international trade, the arrival of exotic animals and foreign visitors became a subject of intense public curiosity. This genre of art, known as Yokohama-e, documented these encounters with a blend of observation and imaginative interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition features a large elephant as the central subject, rendered with a focus on its physical mass and texture. The animal is depicted consuming straw, while figures in Western-style dress stand nearby. The inclusion of these figures, dressed in mid-19th-century European attire, provides a visual record of the cultural exchange occurring at the time. The print is a diptych, a common format for such subjects, allowing for a wider view of the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYoshitoyo employs the traditional woodblock techniques of the Ukiyo-e school, using clear outlines and flat areas of colour. The palette is balanced, with the dark, muted tones of the elephant contrasting against the lighter, more saturated colours of the clothing and the green ground. The text included in the upper portion of the print provides contemporary context, likely describing the origin of the animal and the circumstances of its arrival. This work offers a glimpse into the Japanese perspective on the influx of foreign influence during a period of rapid social change. It is a piece of historical documentation that reflects the curiosity of the era, rather than a purely aesthetic exercise.

The artist, active during the late eighteenth century, is known for his refined depictions of women, often characterised by elongated figures and a sense of melancholy. In this composition, the subject is shown seated, adjusting her hairpins while a small smoking set rests before her. The lines are fluid and precise, typical of the Ukiyo-e tradition, which prioritised clear contours and flat areas of colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print features a muted palette, relying on soft greens and earthy tones to create a sense of calm. The subject wears a kimono adorned with a subtle geometric pattern, which provides a rhythmic quality to the lower half of the composition. A cartouche in the upper right corner contains Japanese calligraphy, a common feature in prints of this period that often provided context or poetic commentary on the subject.

This print is an example of the technical skill involved in the production of Japanese woodblock prints, where the collaboration between artist, carver, and printer resulted in works of great clarity.

The use of a muted, earthy palette allows the focus to remain on the graphic quality of the print. The background is kept minimal, typical of the period's aesthetic, which prioritised negative space to draw attention to the primary subjects. The inclusion of the birds' yellow feet provides a subtle tonal variation against the otherwise monochromatic scheme of greys and browns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKuwagata Keisai was a versatile artist who produced numerous illustrated books and prints. His work often reflects a blend of traditional Japanese techniques and a more analytical observation of nature. This print serves as an example of his ability to reduce complex organic forms into simplified, decorative elements without losing the essential character of the subject. The print is framed by a simple border, a common feature in Japanese woodblock prints of this era, which serves to contain the scene and direct the viewer's eye toward the central figures.\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=\"\/nl\/products\/shimosuwa-from-sixty-nine-stations-of-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;\"\u003eShimosuwa, from Sixty-Nine Stations of the Kisokaidō - Utagawa Hiroshige — Utagawa Hiroshige\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/new-year-street-performers-kitagawa-utamaro\" 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;\"\u003eNew Year Street-Performers - Kitagawa Utamaro — Kitagawa Utamaro\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kitao Masayoshi","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072329318735,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072341573967,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072341606735,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59072341639503,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59072341672271,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59072341705039,"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":59072341737807,"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":59072341770575,"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":59072341803343,"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":59072341836111,"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":59072341868879,"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":59072341901647,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Zhe-gu-Partridges-_Poster_CompositorV1_1791517553385.jpg?v=1791517917"},{"product_id":"the-eleventh-month-ishikawa-toyomasa","title":"The Eleventh Month - Ishikawa Toyomasa","description":"\u003cp\u003eA traditional Ukiyo-e woodblock print by Ishikawa Toyomasa, depicting a multi-layered scene of domestic life and theatrical performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis woodblock print by Ishikawa Toyomasa belongs to the Ukiyo-e tradition, a genre that flourished in Japan during the Edo period. The composition is divided into two distinct registers, a common technique in Japanese printmaking used to depict simultaneous actions or layered narratives. In the upper section, a figure dressed in theatrical costume stands upon a raised platform, framed by a delicate, arching branch. This suggests a connection to the world of Kabuki theatre, where actors were often depicted in specific roles or seasonal performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lower register shifts to a domestic or public scene, featuring a group of women and children. The figures are rendered with the characteristic grace of the period, wearing patterned kimonos that display a variety of textile designs. One woman carries a child on her back, while another holds a child in her arms, creating a sense of movement and interaction. The architectural elements, such as the paper lanterns and the tiled roof, provide a sense of place and structure to the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIshikawa Toyomasa employs a balanced colour palette, using muted tones that allow the fine line work to remain the primary focus.

The inclusion of a crane motif on the green curtain adds a layer of symbolic meaning, as the crane is a traditional emblem of longevity and good fortune in Japanese culture. This work offers a glimpse into the social and cultural life of the era, capturing a moment of daily activity alongside the stylised performance of the theatre.

Active during the Edo period, Keisai was a student of Kitao Shigemasa and later established his own reputation for a simplified, graphic style of illustration.

The artist employs a restrained palette, allowing the natural tones of the shells, including soft pinks, pale greens, and muted blues, to contrast with the deep, near-black ground. The line work is precise, capturing the ridged surfaces and organic contours of the specimens with clarity.

This print demonstrates that methodology, as the shells are rendered with a balance of technical accuracy and decorative simplicity. The work functions as both a scientific record and an aesthetic object, providing a window into the natural history interests of the late eighteenth-century Japanese art world. The dark, moody backdrop serves to isolate the subjects, drawing the viewer's attention to the subtle variations in colour and the tactile quality of the shells themselves.

The background features simple, horizontal bands that provide a sense of spatial depth without distracting from the central figure. The lines are precise and controlled, defining the folds of the heavy fabric and the delicate features of the actor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKatsukawa Shunjō was active during the late 18th century and contributed to the development of the actor print genre. His work reflects the close relationship between the kabuki theatre and the print market, where fans purchased these images as souvenirs or collectibles. The print demonstrates the technical skill required to carve and register multiple woodblocks to achieve the final image. By focusing on the individual performer, Shunjō provides a glimpse into the aesthetic values of the period, where the artifice of the theatre was celebrated through the medium of the printed page.\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=\"\/nl\/products\/shimosuwa-from-sixty-nine-stations-of-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;\"\u003eShimosuwa, from Sixty-Nine Stations of the Kisokaidō - Utagawa Hiroshige — Utagawa Hiroshige\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/new-year-street-performers-kitagawa-utamaro\" 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;\"\u003eNew Year Street-Performers - Kitagawa Utamaro — Kitagawa Utamaro\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Katsukawa Shunjō","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072392823119,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072416776527,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072416809295,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59072416842063,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59072416874831,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59072416907599,"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":59072416940367,"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":59072416973135,"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":59072417005903,"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":59072417038671,"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":59072417071439,"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":59072417104207,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Third-Segawa-Kikunojo-as-a-Woman_Poster_CompositorV1_1791518539980.jpg?v=1791519117"},{"product_id":"seven-sages-of-the-bamboo-grove-four-elders-of-mt-shang-kano-tan-yu","title":"Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove; Four Elders of Mt.

The upper panel depicts the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, a group of third-century scholars who retreated from political life to pursue music, poetry, and philosophy. The lower panel portrays the Four Elders of Mt. Shang, figures associated with wisdom and the rejection of imperial service in favour of seclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTan’yū, a central figure of the Kano school during the early Edo period, demonstrates his mastery of brushwork here. The figures are defined by economical, fluid lines that capture their posture and expression without unnecessary detail. The background elements, such as the bamboo stalks and pine branches, are suggested through light washes of ink, creating a sense of atmosphere rather than physical space. This approach reflects the aesthetic preference for simplicity and restraint common in Japanese ink painting of the seventeenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is balanced across the panels, with the figures arranged in small, conversational clusters. The negative space is used effectively to suggest the quiet, natural environments where these sages reside. Tan’yū’s ability to convey character through subtle variations in ink density and stroke weight is evident in the distinct personalities of the figures, from the contemplative scholars to the elderly, stoic hermits. This print captures the essence of the original screen paintings, offering a view into the intellectual traditions that informed the artistic output of the Kano school.

The work reflects the aesthetic principles of the era, which favoured simplicity and the subtle modulation of ink tones.

Jiun was a scholar of the Shingon school and a proponent of the 'Ten Virtues' movement, yet he is perhaps most recognised for his expressive, bold brushwork. In this piece, the characters are rendered with a deliberate lack of artifice, reflecting the Zen practice of direct transmission of truth beyond words.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe calligraphy refers to the famous koan concerning the 'cypress tree in the courtyard'. This koan originates from the teachings of Zhaozhou Congshen, a Tang dynasty master. When asked about the meaning of Bodhidharma coming from the West, Zhaozhou replied with the observation of a cypress tree. The brushstrokes here possess a raw, unrefined quality, prioritising the energy of the moment over technical perfection. The ink varies from deep, saturated black to dry, frayed edges where the brush has skipped across the paper surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJiun Onkō utilised the brush to embody the state of mind of the practitioner. The characters appear to move across the vertical scroll, creating a sense of rhythm and spontaneity. The composition is balanced by the placement of the red seals, which provide a small, controlled contrast to the expansive, sweeping ink marks. This print captures the texture of the original paper and the depth of the sumi ink, allowing the viewer to observe the physical trace of the artist's hand.

The composition focuses on a large drum, decorated with geometric patterns and finished with decorative tassels, positioned alongside a keiro. The keiro is a handheld instrument featuring small, circular metal components that produce sound when shaken. The artist employs a clean, precise line quality to define the structural details of the instruments, ensuring the viewer can observe the craftsmanship of the wooden frames and the tension of the drum skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inclusion of Japanese calligraphy surrounding the instruments provides context regarding their function and cultural usage within the imperial court. The print reflects the meticulous observation common in nineteenth-century Japanese woodblock prints, where artists documented various aspects of material culture, including clothing, tools, and musical apparatus. The colour palette remains restrained, relying on muted earth tones, soft reds, and subtle blues to maintain a focus on the form and function of the objects rather than decorative excess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTakashima Chiharu captures the instruments in a static, balanced arrangement, allowing for a clear examination of their physical properties.

The artist employs a fluid, calligraphic brush technique to define the form of the monkey, using varying densities of ink wash to suggest the texture of fur and the weight of the creature's posture. The monkey is depicted in a seated position, its attention directed toward a small bee held between its fingers. This interaction is rendered with economy and precision, avoiding unnecessary detail to focus on the gesture and the relationship between the two subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hokusai School was known for its rigorous training in observation and the mastery of the brush.

The composition is sparse, set against a plain background, which directs the viewer's eye to the monkey's expressive face and the delicate movement of its hand.

The school is known for its focus on bijin-ga, or pictures of beautiful women, typically depicting courtesans from the Yoshiwara pleasure district in Edo. The figure stands in a graceful, S-shaped posture, a hallmark of the school's approach to portraying the female form. Her kimono is decorated with large, bold floral motifs, which contrast with the geometric checkerboard patterns on the hem and sleeves. The artist uses strong, confident ink lines to define the contours of the figure and the folds of the fabric, creating a sense of volume and movement despite the two-dimensional nature of the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kaigetsudō artists prioritised the physical presence of the subject over background detail. By omitting scenery, the artist directs the viewer's attention entirely to the figure's attire and posture. The signature and seal of the artist appear on the lower left, confirming the work's origin within the school's production. This piece is an example of the 'big-head' or large-scale figure prints that defined the early Ukiyo-e period. The paper shows the natural ageing typical of works from this era, providing a tactile quality to the monochrome ink application. The composition relies on the balance between the heavy, dark lines of the robes and the lighter, more delicate rendering of the face and hair.

This particular volume, dated 1844, displays the characteristic format of a Japanese stab-bound book. The cover is constructed from a durable, textured paper, showing the natural signs of age and handling that define historical ephemera. A vertical paper label, or daisen, is affixed to the left side, bearing the title in elegant kanji characters. The binding itself is executed in the traditional fukuro-toji style, where folded pages are sewn together with thread along the spine edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOkada Kanrin was an artist active during the late Edo period, a time when the production of instructional art manuals and picture albums flourished.

The artist, known for his technical precision and focus on animal subjects, depicts a cat crouched in anticipation. The creature is positioned behind a vertical architectural element, likely a sliding door or screen, which creates a sharp geometric division in the composition. This contrast between the soft, rounded form of the feline and the rigid, dark lines of the screen provides a sense of spatial depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cat wears a small, patterned collar, a detail that suggests a domestic setting while adding a splash of colour to the otherwise muted palette. Its gaze is fixed upon a small spider on the floor, creating a narrative tension between the predator and its tiny subject. The artist employs a delicate brush technique to render the texture of the cat's fur, using subtle gradations of grey and white to suggest volume and softness.

This print provides a record of cultural exchange, showing how Western circus traditions were assimilated and presented within the visual language of Japanese printmaking. The work is a document of the rapid modernisation and internationalisation occurring in Japan during the late 1880s, reflecting the curiosity surrounding foreign visitors and their exotic displays.\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=\"\/nl\/products\/shimosuwa-from-sixty-nine-stations-of-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;\"\u003eShimosuwa, from Sixty-Nine Stations of the Kisokaidō - Utagawa Hiroshige — Utagawa Hiroshige\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/new-year-street-performers-kitagawa-utamaro\" 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;\"\u003eNew Year Street-Performers - Kitagawa Utamaro — Kitagawa Utamaro\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Utagawa Masanobu","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072689144143,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072695238991,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072695271759,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59072695304527,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59072695337295,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59072695370063,"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":59072695402831,"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":59072695435599,"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":59072695468367,"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":59072695501135,"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":59072695533903,"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":59072695566671,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Chiarini-s-Circus-Sekai-daiichi-charine-daikyokuba-_Poster_CompositorV1_1791522152335.jpg?v=1791523311"},{"product_id":"evening-faces-yugao-kawamata-tsunemasa","title":"Evening Faces (Yugao) - Kawamata Tsunemasa","description":"\u003cp\u003eA delicate Ukiyo-e depiction of a scene from the Yugao chapter of The Tale of Genji, rendered in ink and colour on silk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work by Kawamata Tsunemasa depicts a scene from the fourth chapter of The Tale of Genji, titled Yugao or Evening Faces. The narrative concerns the protagonist, Hikaru Genji, and his encounter with a mysterious woman living in a dilapidated mansion. The artist captures the quiet, atmospheric tension of the encounter, focusing on the figures within a garden setting. The composition employs the traditional Japanese aesthetic of flattened space, where the figures are placed against a neutral, warm-toned background that suggests the fading light of dusk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKawamata Tsunemasa, a practitioner of the Ukiyo-e school, demonstrates a refined approach to line and colour. The figures are rendered with delicate, precise brushwork, characteristic of the mid-eighteenth-century style. The woman on the left wears a complex, patterned robe, while her companion is dressed in more subdued, structured garments. The inclusion of the yugao flowers, which bloom at night, provides a subtle botanical reference to the chapter title. The surrounding elements, such as the rustic fence and the gnarled tree, serve to frame the interaction without overwhelming the central subjects. The muted palette, dominated by earthy ochres, soft greens, and touches of red, maintains a sense of historical authenticity and visual harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece reflects the enduring cultural interest in Murasaki Shikibu's eleventh-century literary classic during the Edo period. Artists frequently turned to these narratives to explore themes of romance, melancholy, and the passage of time. By isolating this specific moment, Tsunemasa invites the viewer to consider the narrative depth of the original text through a visual medium.

Attributed to the artist Ichijun, who was active during the 18th century, the work captures the poet in a contemplative, informal manner. The composition relies on the economy of the brush, a hallmark of the literati tradition in Japanese art. Basho is shown in a three-quarter view, his expression suggesting a quiet, observant nature. His attire is rendered with fluid, dark ink washes, contrasting with the lighter, more delicate treatment of the surrounding foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inclusion of trailing vines, painted in soft green tones, frames the figure.

This school prioritised direct observation of nature, moving away from the rigid, formalised techniques of the Kano school.

The composition relies on the generous use of negative space, a hallmark of the Shijo aesthetic, which draws the viewer into the quiet interaction between the two subjects. The monkey is rendered with delicate brushwork, using subtle gradations of grey ink to suggest the texture of its fur, while the facial features are defined with minimal, precise strokes.

Produced in 1860, the work follows the conventions of the genre, which served to inform fans of an actor's death and provide a final image for remembrance.

He holds a strand of prayer beads, a common motif in Buddhist-influenced memorial art, suggesting a transition to the afterlife. Before him, a single lotus flower rises, a symbol of purity and rebirth in Japanese iconography. His expression is calm, with the characteristic white makeup of the kabuki performer rendered with clean, precise lines.

The composition is balanced, using the verticality of the text and the curve of the lotus stem to guide the viewer's eye across the frame. This piece offers a window into the specific cultural practices surrounding the kabuki theatre in the late Edo period, where the lives and deaths of performers were closely followed by a dedicated public.\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=\"\/nl\/products\/shimosuwa-from-sixty-nine-stations-of-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;\"\u003eShimosuwa, from Sixty-Nine Stations of the Kisokaidō - Utagawa Hiroshige — Utagawa Hiroshige\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/new-year-street-performers-kitagawa-utamaro\" 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;\"\u003eNew Year Street-Performers - Kitagawa Utamaro — Kitagawa Utamaro\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Enjaku","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072697139535,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072709689679,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072709722447,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59072709755215,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59072709787983,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59072709820751,"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":59072709853519,"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":59072709886287,"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":59072709919055,"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":59072709951823,"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":59072709984591,"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":59072710017359,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Memorial-Portrait-of-the-Actor-Nakamura-Tamashichi_Poster_CompositorV1_1791523127792.jpg?v=1791523890"},{"product_id":"dancer-as-kuzunoha-fox-spirit-disguised-as-a-woman-katsukawa-shunei","title":"Dancer as Kuzunoha, Fox Spirit Disguised as a Woman - Katsukawa Shunei","description":"\u003cp\u003eA traditional Japanese woodblock print by Katsukawa Shunei depicting a kabuki performer in the role of the fox spirit Kuzunoha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis woodblock print by Katsukawa Shunei depicts a performer in the role of Kuzunoha, a character from Japanese folklore. Kuzunoha is a fox spirit who assumes human form to marry a nobleman and raise a child. The narrative is a staple of the kabuki theatre, often appearing in the play 'Ashiya Doman Ouchi Kagami'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShunei, a student of Katsukawa Shunsho, was known for his focus on actor portraits. His style often features bold outlines and a clear, uncluttered composition. In this piece, the figure is rendered with a focus on the costume, which displays a mix of geometric patterns and floral motifs. The dancer holds a black fan, which provides a visual anchor against the lighter tones of the kimono. The head is covered by a simple cloth, a common convention in theatre to suggest the character's hidden identity or humble status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print uses a limited palette, typical of the period, relying on soft oranges, muted greens, and black ink to define the form.

The background remains plain, ensuring the viewer focuses entirely on the theatrical costume and the subtle expression of the performer. This work provides a glimpse into the aesthetic preferences of the Edo period, where the theatre and its performers were central to popular culture. The print demonstrates the technical skill involved in woodblock production, from the precision of the carving to the careful application of colour blocks.

Ono no Ozū, a figure active during the transition from the Momoyama to the Edo period, employs a minimalist ink wash technique characteristic of the Zenga tradition. The composition focuses on the relaxed posture of the monk, whose large, rounded form occupies the lower portion of the frame.

The ink application is fluid, demonstrating the artist's control over the brush.

The composition follows the traditional literati style, which prioritises the expression of the artist's inner state through brushwork and ink wash techniques. The verticality of the craggy peaks provides a sense of scale, contrasting with the quiet, human-scaled dwellings nestled among the trees at the base of the mountains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaizan employs a variety of brush strokes to define the textures of the rocks, the foliage of the pines, and the gentle ripples of the water. The ink application ranges from deep, saturated blacks to delicate, diluted washes, creating a sense of atmospheric depth. The autumnal season is suggested through the subtle application of light colour, which complements the monochrome ink work without overwhelming the composition. The inclusion of small figures within the architecture invites the viewer to imagine the quiet, contemplative life of the scholar-recluse, a common theme in East Asian painting that celebrates withdrawal from the bustle of public life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a two-panel screen, the work maintains a balance between the solid, grounded forms of the mountains and the expansive, open space of the lake.

The work belongs to the bijin-ga genre, a category of Japanese art focused on the portrayal of beautiful women.

The imagery focuses on the natural world, specifically the seasonal cycles represented by flora and fauna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist employs a gold-leaf background, a technique used to reflect light within dimly lit interior spaces. Against this metallic surface, the ink-wash forms of the gnarled tree, rocks, and birds emerge with clarity. The brushwork demonstrates the characteristic Kano approach, combining precise outlines with subtle washes of colour to define form. The composition is balanced, with the heavy mass of the tree and rocks on the right side providing a visual anchor, while the left side remains more open, suggesting distance and air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBirds and flowers, or kacho-ga, served as a common subject matter for the Kano school.

The muted palette, dominated by earth tones and the soft sheen of the background, creates a sense of calm.

Unlike the Edo-based artists who often focused on idealised beauty, Kamigata printmakers frequently emphasised the individual features and dramatic intensity of specific actors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition captures the subject in a dynamic, crouched posture, suggesting a moment of high tension within the theatrical narrative. The actor holds a sword, his expression set in a fierce grimace, which is characteristic of the aragoto style of acting. His costume is rendered with detailed patterns, contrasting with the stark, simplified forms of the rocky terrain and the waterfall in the background. The use of colour is restrained, relying on a palette of blues, reds, and earthy tones to define the figure against the neutral paper ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrints of this nature, known as yakusha-e, functioned as promotional material for theatre-goers.

The work displays three vertical columns of characters executed in a fluid, expressive script. Shōchiku, known for his mastery of both Chinese and Japanese literary traditions, employs a rhythmic variation in line weight that reflects the speed and pressure of the brush against the paper surface.

The work belongs to the tradition of suibokuga, or ink painting, which gained significant traction in Japan through the influence of Chinese Chan Buddhism. The artist employs a monochromatic palette, using varying concentrations of ink to define the forms of the figure and the creature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition focuses on the interaction between the human figure and the carp. The immortal is rendered with fluid, calligraphic brushwork, particularly in the drapery of his robes, which suggests movement and lightness. He holds a scroll, a common attribute for scholars and sages in East Asian iconography. The carp, emerging from stylized waves, is depicted with a degree of detail in its scales and facial features, contrasting with the more ethereal treatment of the surrounding space.

The work reflects the technical skill required to balance the spontaneity of the brush with the controlled representation of mythological figures.

The composition relies on the economy of brushwork, a hallmark of Zen-influenced aesthetics.

The work remains a representative example of the intersection between classical literary traditions and the popular print culture of the Edo period.\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=\"\/nl\/products\/an-actor-beside-water-utagawa-toyokuni-i\" 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;\"\u003eAn Actor Beside Water - Utagawa Toyokuni I — Utagawa Toyokuni I\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/oiso-saigyos-hut-at-shigitatsu-marsh-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;\"\u003eOiso: Saigyo's Hut at Shigitatsu Marsh - Utagawa Hiroshige — Utagawa Hiroshige\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Shakuyakutei Nagane","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072788431183,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072792133967,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072792166735,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59072792199503,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59072792232271,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59072792265039,"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":59072792297807,"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":59072792330575,"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":59072792363343,"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":59072792396111,"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":59072792428879,"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":59072792461647,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Collection-of-Famous-Ky-ka-Poems-Selected-by-Shakuyakutei_Poster_CompositorV1_1791525818620.jpg?v=1791526437"},{"product_id":"a-poem-from-the-shin-kokinshu-with-design-of-shinobugusa-honami-koetsu","title":"A Poem from the Shin Kokinshu with Design of Shinobugusa - Hon'ami Kōetsu","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined handscroll fragment by Hon'ami Kōetsu, featuring classical waka poetry integrated with delicate gold and silver fern motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis handscroll fragment displays the synthesis of classical Japanese poetry and decorative design characteristic of the Rinpa school. Hon'ami Kōetsu, a central figure in the cultural life of early seventeenth-century Kyoto, collaborated with Tawaraya Sōtatsu to produce works that integrated calligraphy with sophisticated surface decoration. The text originates from the Shin Kokinshu, an imperial anthology of waka poetry compiled in the early thirteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe visual composition relies on the interplay between the fluid, rhythmic brushwork of the kana script and the subtle application of gold and silver pigments. The design of shinobugusa, or moss fern, is rendered with a delicate touch, appearing as if partially obscured by mist or time. The metallic pigments provide a reflective quality that changes depending on the angle of light, a technique that elevates the paper surface into a three-dimensional experience. The arrangement of the characters is not merely functional but serves as an aesthetic element that balances the negative space of the paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKōetsu was a polymath, active as a calligrapher, potter, and lacquer artist. His approach to this scroll reflects the aristocratic taste of the period, which favoured classical literature presented in a refined, visual format. The integration of the poem with the botanical motif creates a unified work where the meaning of the text and the imagery are inseparable. This piece demonstrates the restraint and technical precision associated with the Rinpa tradition, focusing on the harmony between the written word and the decorative arts. The use of gold and silver against the muted paper tone creates a sense of quietude, inviting the viewer to engage with the work at a slow, deliberate pace.\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=\"\/nl\/products\/poetry-slips-katsukawa-shunei\" 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;\"\u003ePoetry Slips - Katsukawa Shun'ei — Katsukawa Shun'ei\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/poem-by-fujiwara-no-okikaze-with-underpainting-of-clematis-shokado-shojo\" 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;\"\u003ePoem by Fujiwara no Okikaze with Underpainting of Clematis - Shōkadō Shōjō — Shōkadō Shōjō\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hon'ami Kōetsu","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072788562255,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072790561103,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072790593871,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59072790626639,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59072790659407,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59072790692175,"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":59072790724943,"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":59072790757711,"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":59072790790479,"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":59072790823247,"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":59072790856015,"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":59072790888783,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/A-Poem-from-the-Shin-Kokinshu-with-Design-of-Shinobugusa_Poster_CompositorV1_1791524702139.jpg?v=1791526437"},{"product_id":"sino-japanese-war-two-generals-at-the-battle-of-fenghuangcheng-yosai-nobukazu","title":"Sino-Japanese War: Two Generals at the Battle of Fenghuangcheng - Yosai Nobukazu","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dynamic Meiji-era woodblock print by Yosai Nobukazu depicting a mounted confrontation during the First Sino-Japanese War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis woodblock print by Yosai Nobukazu depicts a dramatic confrontation during the First Sino-Japanese War. The composition captures the Battle of Fenghuangcheng, a conflict that took place in 1894. Nobukazu, a student of the famous printmaker Yoshitoshi, produced this work as part of the genre known as senso-e, or war prints. These images were produced rapidly to satisfy public demand for news and visual representations of the military campaigns occurring on the continent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene features two mounted figures engaged in combat. On the left, a Qing dynasty officer wields a polearm while mounted on a grey horse. Opposite him, a Japanese officer in a modern military uniform brandishes a sword while riding a brown horse. The artist employs a triptych format, which allows for a wide, cinematic view of the battlefield. The background is relatively sparse, focusing the viewer's attention on the physical struggle between the two combatants. To the right, a Japanese soldier crouches in the tall grass, rifle at the ready, adding a sense of tactical depth to the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNobukazu uses a clear, graphic style typical of late nineteenth-century Japanese printmaking. The lines are precise, defining the uniforms and the musculature of the horses with clarity.

This print serves as a historical document of the visual culture of the Meiji period, reflecting how the Japanese public consumed information about the war through mass-produced woodblock imagery.

To the left, a small brazier sits on a red cloth, providing a contrast to the muted tones of the bench and the actor's attire.

This particular sheet depicts Shinagawa, the first station after departing Edo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is divided into two distinct zones. The foreground features travellers and porters, rendered with a focus on their practical attire and the physical exertion of their journey.

The background provides a panoramic view of the bay, with small sailing vessels dotting the water and the distant silhouette of Mount Fuji visible on the horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHiroshige uses a combination of cartographic detail and artistic observation.

The print demonstrates the artist's ability to balance the mundane details of daily life with the broader geography of the Japanese countryside.

Kano Osanobu, a prominent member of the Kano school during the late Edo period, renders the deity with the refined brushwork characteristic of his lineage.

The Queen Mother stands in a graceful posture, accompanied by a smaller attendant figure. The architectural detail of the balustrade behind them introduces a geometric structure that contrasts with the organic forms of the pine and the flowing garments of the figures.

This work, titled Flowers and Birds, demonstrates the artist's technical command of ink and colour on silk. The composition features a crane positioned amidst turbulent, stylised water, with a flowering branch extending from the upper right corner. The crane is rendered with careful attention to its plumage, while the surrounding waves are depicted through fluid, rhythmic brushwork that suggests movement without relying on realistic perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inclusion of a flowering branch, likely a peach or cherry blossom, provides a contrast to the dynamic water below. Katei, who served as an artist for the Imperial Household, often utilised these traditional motifs to explore themes of nature and seasonal change. His approach combines the expressive qualities of ink wash painting with a refined application of colour, characteristic of the late nineteenth-century Japanese aesthetic.

It offers a glimpse into the refined lifestyle depicted in the art of the floating world, focusing on the grace of the figure and the harmony of the setting.\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=\"\/nl\/products\/the-actor-segawa-kikunojo-ii-as-the-courtesan-umegae-suzuki-harunobu\" 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;\"\u003eThe Actor Segawa Kikunojo II as the Courtesan Umegae - Suzuki Harunobu — Suzuki Harunobu\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/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\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Furuyama Moromasa","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072835715407,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59073166573903,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59073166606671,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59073166639439,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59073166672207,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59073166704975,"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":59073166737743,"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":59073166770511,"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":59073166803279,"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":59073166836047,"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":59073166868815,"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":59073166901583,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Courtesan-Resting-on-the-Veranda_Poster_CompositorV1_1791526775141.jpg?v=1791527390"},{"product_id":"new-year-s-sake-bottles-and-shrine-plaque-ema-for-the-year-of-the-rooster-katsushika-hokusen","title":"New Year’s Sake Bottles and Shrine Plaque (Ema) for the Year of the Rooster - Katsushika Hokusen","description":"\u003cp\u003eA delicate Japanese woodblock print featuring New Year symbols, including sake bottles and a rooster-themed shrine plaque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusen belongs to the genre of surimono, a form of privately commissioned, limited-edition print often exchanged among poets and connoisseurs in Edo-period Japan. Surimono prints were typically produced with high-quality paper and technical refinements, such as metallic pigments or embossing, to reflect the refined tastes of their patrons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition features a pair of sake bottles decorated with red and blue patterns, resting upon a black lacquered stand. Beside them sits an ema, a small wooden plaque traditionally used at Shinto shrines for writing prayers or wishes. This specific ema depicts a rooster and chicks, serving as a symbolic reference to the Year of the Rooster in the Chinese zodiac. The inclusion of these items suggests a celebration of the New Year, a period marked by ritual, renewal, and the exchange of gifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHokusen, a student of the famous Katsushika Hokusai, demonstrates a mastery of balance and negative space. The calligraphic text integrated into the left side of the composition provides a poetic context, linking the visual elements to the literary culture of the time. The muted, earthy tones of the paper contrast with the precise, controlled application of colour on the sake bottles and the rooster. The work avoids excessive ornamentation, focusing instead on the quiet arrangement of objects that carry specific cultural weight. By capturing these ephemeral items, the artist preserves a moment of domestic celebration and traditional observance. The print remains a clear example of the technical precision and thematic subtlety characteristic of the surimono tradition, offering a glimpse into the private aesthetic exchanges of the nineteenth-century Japanese literati.\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=\"\/nl\/products\/the-actor-segawa-kikunojo-ii-as-the-courtesan-umegae-suzuki-harunobu\" 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;\"\u003eThe Actor Segawa Kikunojo II as the Courtesan Umegae - Suzuki Harunobu — Suzuki Harunobu\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/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\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Katsushika Hokusen","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59072853442895,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59073168998735,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59073169031503,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59073169064271,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59073169097039,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59073169129807,"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":59073169162575,"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":59073169195343,"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":59073169228111,"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":59073169260879,"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":59073169293647,"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":59073169326415,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/New-Year-s-Sake-Bottles-and-Shrine-Plaque-Ema-for-the-Year-of-the-Rooster_Poster_CompositorV1_1791526960955.jpg?v=1791527504"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/collections\/ffc3e0f33ec996a2130f10f7f5d26ae0.jpg?v=1772320243","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/nl\/collections\/new-in.oembed?page=2","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
