Bamboo Conversing Discussing Kimono Kimonos Lantern Conversation
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured woodblock print from the Edo Period showcases the elegance and grace of two ladies engaged in a conversation. Created by Sharaku, Toshusai during his brief artistic career in 1794-95, this piece offers a glimpse into the refined world of traditional Japanese culture. The women are depicted wearing exquisite kimonos adorned with bamboo leaves, symbolizing resilience and flexibility. Their hairstyles are meticulously styled, reflecting the attention to detail that was characteristic of this period. One lady delicately holds a fan while the other carries a lantern, suggesting they may be enjoying an evening discussion under its warm glow. Their animated gestures and focused expressions indicate an engrossing conversation taking place between them. Perhaps they are discussing matters of art or literature, as these topics were highly valued during this era. The composition is beautifully balanced with intricate patterns and vibrant colors typical of woodblock prints. This artwork captures not only the aesthetic beauty but also highlights the importance placed on intellectual pursuits within Japanese society at that time. Preserved in private collection today, this print serves as a reminder of Japan's rich cultural heritage and continues to inspire admiration for its timeless beauty.
