About the Item

Exquisite Japanese contemporary Oshie traditional handcrafted silk and brocade Wall decorative art piece with a three-dimensional effect depicting a fascinating scene of a dancer elegantly performing what is called "Nihon Buyo" or Japanese dance. It is not a traditional Japanese dance, but it refers to refined style of dancing that is meant to be performed on a public stage such as kabuki buyo and Kamigata mai. This is a traditional Japanese handcrafted wall decorative art form using high quality silk and brocade fabrics, known as oshie (literally, “pressed pictures”) that goes back to the Edo period (1603-1868). It is said this art form was born of the reluctance of ladies of the court and elite aristocratic women to discard the magnificent silk kimonos and brocaded obi they had donned for a lifetime. The solution was to recycle these opulent fabrics into stunning works of art. Highly detailed Oshie pieces contain hundreds of small pieces expertly aligned, to recreate the works of Japan’s most celebrated traditional paintings in the minutest details, notably in the beloved bijin-ga (beautiful women) tradition. Oshie resembles a carefully crafted very intricate jigsaw puzzle comprising numerous intricate pieces of wadded kimono silk and brocade fabric expertly put together to create a relief design art piece, an undulating three-dimesional picture. Painstaking and time-consuming attention to details is entailed in recreating each elaborate kimono, head wear and intricate painting of facial features in miniature-like exactitude. The end product is a mesmerizing piece with a surprising three-dimensional effect. The frame is not included. The creator of this piece is an oshie artist who for over thirty years has created extraordinarily intricate and detaild Oshie pieces. she has only used exquisite antique and vintage kimono and obi fabrics in her work. Oshie pieces of this excellent quality are extremely hard to find in Japan and there are only a handfull of contemporary Oshie artists who are still actively creating new pieces. This wall decorating piece will be a stunning focal point that will invite the viewer to approach it to enjoy and explore the details of this magnificent piece.

Edo Landscape Japanese Folding Screen

By Japanese Studio

Located in Brescia, IT

Refined work by a painter from the first half of the 19th century, from the landscape of the "Rinpa" school by a painter from the end of the 18th century, the Rinpa school. Six panels painted in ink on gold leaf and "gofun" on vegetable paper. The flowers are made with the "gofun" technique, natural or pigmented white oyster powder. Rinpa is one of the major historical schools of Japanese painting. The style was consolidated by the brothers Ogata Korin (1658–1716) and Ogata Kenzan (1663–1743).
