About the Item

A wonderful, handcrafted work of a regal Japanese samurai/warrior doll shadow puppet. Oshie, which translates as pressed pictures, is a traditional Japanese art form that can be traced back to the Edo period and usually consist of paper and sections of kimono fabric that are hand-pressed together to give the work a three-dimensional feel. We have seen only a handful of other older examples of this art form so are assuming they are somewhat rare. Very strong composition and use of dramatic colors. Would make for a great addition to any Japanese or Asian art collection or very eye-catching Stand-alone work in about any setting. The notation on the back of the frame suggests this work was once part of a gallery show or exhibition. Acrylic framed dimensions: 35" High, 27" wide, 2" deep.
