17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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
The captivating print "Mystical Bird (Karyobinga), 1820-33" by Hokusai transports viewers to the enchanting world of Japanese mythology and artistry. Created during the Edo period, this polychrome woodblock print surimono showcases Hokusai's mastery in ink and color on paper. In this mesmerizing artwork, a mythical creature known as Karyobinga takes center stage. With its vibrant feathers and graceful wings, it exudes an ethereal beauty that captivates the imagination. The Karyobinga is a legendary bird often associated with Buddhism and symbolizes purity and enlightenment. A female figure elegantly holds a flute while playing a melodious tune, adding an element of music to this mystical scene. Her presence evokes a sense of serenity and tranquility, reflecting the spiritual nature of Buddhist beliefs. Hokusai's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this piece - from the intricate patterns on the bird's feathers to the delicate folds in the woman's kimono. The use of vivid colors adds depth and richness to the composition, enhancing its visual impact. This exquisite print serves as both a greeting card for New Year celebrations and an artistic representation of Japan's cultural heritage. It can transport viewers into another realm where mythological creatures roam freely amidst serene landscapes. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, "Mystical Bird (Karyobinga)" stands as a testament to Hokusai
