Japanese Asian Oshie Pressed Textile Old Monk Framed Shadow Puppet Doll
About the Item
A wonderful, handcrafted work of a Japanese monk/ old man doll shadow puppet who appears to be making an offering of some sort.
Oshie, which translates as pressed pictures, is a traditional Japanese art form that can be traced back to the Edo period and usually consist of paper and sections of kimono fabric that are hand-pressed together to give the work a three-dimensional feel.
We have seen only a handful of other examples of this art form so are assuming they are somewhat rare.
Great use of negative space in this composition by the artist.

Kesa (which came from the Chinese word "kasaya") robes have been handmade/handstitched by monks/priests as an act of devotion as ceremonial robes for centuries in various Asian cultures (Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Indian, etc.). The kesa is a rectangular garment designed to be worn over the left shoulder (see example image). The robes are made (often in a patchwork column pattern ranging from five, seven, nine or more pannels) specifically for fully ordained Buddhist monks, priests and nuns and are made from donations of exquisite textiles from wealthy patrons of Japanese Buddhist temples. The robes were used in daily ceremonies, temple gatherings, and private meditation. Antique Kesa robes...Category
