An exceptional and rare example of 19th-century textile artistry, this handcrafted Kashmiri Pieced Shawl showcases intricate hand embroidery and meticulous hand stitching in a striking palette of brick red, black, yellow, and ivory. Unlike mass-produced counterparts, this shawl is composed of antique textile fragments—carefully pieced together to form a harmonious and visually captivating design. Known for their extraordinary craftsmanship, Kashmiri shawls gained widespread popularity during the 1800s, particularly after Queen Victoria embraced them as a symbol of refined style. This tradition later inspired the famous Paisley shawls, produced in Scotland, which borrowed heavily from the motifs and techniques of the original Kashmiri designs. Today, this museum-worthy textile is not only a stunning fashion statement but also serves beautifully as wall art, or as a unique decorative accent for tables or beds. A true collector's item, this shawl is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistry of 19th-century Kashmir.

Poppies & Butterflies Ink, pigment and gofun on silk Igarashi Chikusa (1774-1844) Signature: Chikusa Ran Zen Upper Seal: Ran Shuzen Lower Seal: Kyoho Dimensions: Scroll: H. 68” x W. 18” (172cm x 45cm) Image: H. 38.5’’ x W. 12.5’’ (98cm x 32cm) This composition shows elegant images of poppies and the butterflies that are inevitably drawn to them. It captures a momentary glimpse into a world both visually dazzling and startlingly realistic. The painting is infused with sensitivity and attention to seasonal change and weather conditions. The thin and fragile poppies are beautifully depicted with brilliant colors and the butterflies are similarly infused with life. The painting is on silk which requires extremely precise painting skills as no element once painted can be removed. Poppies were a favorite subject of Rinpa school artists through the ages. Originally they were somewhat abstracted but by the age of Sakai Hoitsu...

If it is good enough for the Japanese emperor :) The painting's inscription says that it was painted in the artist's 82nd year, which would be 1913. In the early Meiji Period following the Buncho ideal of hasshu kengaku ('learning eight schools'), Kanpo expanded his talents to incorporate Western painting techniques and began studying oil painting with Kawakami Togai (1827-1881) and Kunisawa Shinkuro (1847-1877). He achieved notable recognition as an oil painter and apparently was awarded the honor of painting a portrait of the Empress Dowager. Later Kanpo returned to Nihonga and continued to receive numerous honors for his work. He received a silver medal (2nd place) at the Tokyo Prefecture Crafts Competition in 1887; 2nd place with a painting of peacocks...
