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
This 19th century print, titled "Izanagi and Izanami Giving Birth to Japan," showcases a pivotal moment in Japanese mythology. The image, created by the renowned Japanese artist Kawanabe Kyōsai (1831-1889), depicts Izanagi and Izanami, the ancient deities, standing in the primordial chaos of the sea and water, as they give birth to the Japanese archipelago. The scene is set against a backdrop of the vast, turbulent ocean, with towering waves crashing against the shore. The sky above is a swirl of vibrant colors, reflecting the divine energy of the moment. Izanagi, the male deity, holds a jewel-encrusted spear, which he uses to create the first islands of Japan. His consort, Izanami, is shown in a graceful, almost serene pose, as she gives birth to the land. The couple's creation story is a central myth in Shintoism, the indigenous religion of Japan. According to the myth, Izanagi and Izanami emerged from the chaos of the primordial sea, and, through their union, brought forth the islands of Japan, the sun, the moon, and the gods. This myth has been a source of inspiration for generations of Japanese artists, poets, and scholars. This exquisite print, created in the late 1870s, is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Japan. Its vibrant colors and dynamic composition transport us to a time when the gods walked among mortals, and the world was still being shaped by the divine forces of nature.
