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
is a captivating triptych woodblock print by Katsukawa Shunko that offers a glimpse into the vibrant world of Edo period Japan. The scene unfolds in the renowned red light district of Yoshiwara, where entertainment and pleasure reigned supreme. The central panel showcases an exquisite interior adorned with traditional Japanese decor. A group of elegantly dressed men gathers around a low tea table, engrossed in conversation and revelry. Their colorful robes and elaborate hairstyles reflect their status as actors or performers from the artistic school. One figure stands out among them - Kiyokawa Denjiro, a male actor portraying an onnagata or female impersonator. Donning intricate feminine attire and makeup, he exudes grace and poise while captivating his audience with his theatrical prowess. Surrounding this focal point are two side panels depicting other scenes within the room. One features Kotsubo, another male performer known for his skillful portrayal of women characters on stage. The other panel reveals glimpses of everyday life in Yoshiwara, showcasing people engaged in various activities against a backdrop filled with color and energy. Katsukawa Shunko's masterful use of ink and color brings this historical moment to life, capturing both the opulence and allure that characterized this unique era in Japanese history. This remarkable artwork now resides at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their esteemed collection
