About the Item

Exquisite Japanese contemporary framed oshie wall decorative art piece, recreating a famous painting from Meiji period featuring a Japanese dancer holding a net with cherry blossom petals inside. the hair style and the style of the kimono and the way it is worn represent the era. This traditional Japanese decorative art form known as oshie (literally, “pressed pictures”) goes back to the Edo Period (1603-1868). It is said that this art form was born of the reluctance of ladies of the court and elite aristocratic women to discard the magnificent silk kimonos and brocaded obi they had donned for a lifetime. The solution was to recycle these opulent fabrics into stunning works of art, and this elaborate Japanese decorative art form was born. Highly detailed Oshie pieces contain hundreds of small pieces expertly aligned, to recreate the works of Japan’s most celebrated traditional paintings in the minutest details. Oshie resembles a carefully crafted very intricate jigsaw puzzle comprising numerous intricate pieces of wadded kimono silk and brocade fabric expertly put together to create a relief art piece, an undulating three-dimesional picture. Painstaking and time-consuming attention to details is entailed in recreating each elaborate kimono, head wear and intricate painting of facial features in miniature-like exactitude. The end product is a mesmerizing piece with a surprising three-dimensional effect. The creator of this exquisite signed piece has created extremely intricate and detailed Oshie pieces for over three decades. She has prided herself in using the most exquisite antique and vintage kimono and obi fabrics to recreate the works of Japan’s most celebrated traditional paintings, notably in the beloved bijin-ga (beautiful women) tradition. Oshie pieces of this exquisite quality are very hard to find in Japan and there are only a handful of artists who are still actively creating new Oshie pieces. This stunning signed oshie wall decorative art piece does not include the frame. The very unique exquisite custom-made wooden frame and elegant matting can be separately purchased and the list price for the frame is $950. Dimensions: H 37.5 in W 22.5 in D 2 in.
