This nineteenth century Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print depicts a seated female figure painting a fan, accompanied by Japanese calligraphy and artist signatures. The artwork sits behind glass within an original embroidered silk brocade mount displaying a floral pattern, enclosed by a dark brown rosewood frame with visible grain. The paper print incorporates areas of hand colouring in shades of red, green, blue and brown. Measuring 47 cm high, 28.5 cm wide and 3 cm deep, the framed print hangs comfortably on a narrow wall space in a gentleman's library, hallway or study. The compact proportions allow it to fit easily into smaller interior spaces, bringing traditional Asian visual art to a domestic setting.

FAQs

Ukiyo-e is a historical genre of Japanese art from the 17th to 19th centuries, featuring relief prints created via woodblocks depicting female figures, actors, landscapes, and classical literature.

Craftsmen carved reversed images into cherry wood blocks, applied water-based inks, and hand-pressed mulberry paper onto the blocks to layer each individual colour section.

Authentic period prints feature publisher seals, censorship stamps, artist signatures, faint register marks along the borders, and characteristic paper texture from hand pressing.

Hang framed Japanese prints on neutral walls alongside minimalist timber furniture, dark hardwood accents, or quiet ceramic displays to create an understated focal point.

Display framed prints away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity, using UV-protective glass and acid-free archival mounting materials to prevent fading and discoloration.
