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.

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 woodblock print, created between 1847 and 1850 in Japan, showcases the enigmatic figure of Miyamoto Musashi, the legendary samurai swordsman. The print, which measures approximately 35.5 x 24.5 cm, is a testament to the enduring fascination the man held for the Japanese people during the Edo period. Musashi, born in 1584, was a master of the Niten-ichi Ryu school of swordsmanship and is renowned for his extraordinary combat skills. He is said to have fought over sixty duels, winning every one. The print depicts him in a thoughtful pose, intently examining a sword with the aid of a magnifying glass. This gesture symbolizes his deep understanding of the weapon and his mastery of its intricacies. The print's vibrant colors and intricate details are a hallmark of the woodblock printing technique, which was popular during the Edo period. The artist has skillfully captured Musashi's intense focus and the subtle textures of the sword and the magnifying glass, creating a visually stunning and evocative image. The woodblock print is an essential piece of Japanese cultural history, offering a glimpse into the mythology and folklore of the samurai era. It serves as a reminder of the reverence and admiration the Japanese people held for their warrior heroes and their mastery of the martial arts. This print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical artifact, providing insight into the life and legend of Miyamoto Musashi and the cultural milieu of Japan during the Edo period.
