Japanese Oshie Pressed Textile Samurai Framed Showa Shadow Puppet Doll
About the Item
A wonderful, handcrafted work of a regal Japanese samurai/warrior doll shadow puppet.
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 older examples of this art form so are assuming they are somewhat rare.
Very strong composition and use of dramatic colors. Would make for a great addition to any Japanese or Asian art collection or very eye-catching Stand-alone work in about any setting.
The notation on the back of the frame suggests this work was once part of a gallery show or exhibition.
Acrylic framed dimensions: 35" High, 27" wide, 2" deep.
