Contemporary Japanese Framed Silk Brocade Handcrafted Oshie Wall Decorative Art

About the Item

Exceptional Japanese contemporary framed collectible handcrafted oshie decorative wall art piece with a three-dimensional effect depicting a fascinating scene of a Japanese young lady wearing an exquisite Furisode kimono sitting to put back the samurai helmet called "kabuto" back in the beautiful lacquer box in front of her. Kabuto is displayed every year on Boy's Day in every household with small boys. Oshie piece is a traditional Japanese handcrafted wall decorative art form using high quality silk and brocade fabrics, known as oshie (literally, “pressed pictures”) that goes back to the Edo period (1603-1868). It is said this art form was born of the reluctance of ladies of the court 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. Oshie resembles a carefully crafted very intricate jigsaw puzzle comprising numerous intricate pieces of kimono fabric padded with slightly differing thicknesses of cotton and painstakingly glued and ironed individually. All those tiny pieces are then glued one by one on a custom made board making sure each piece lands on the exact right place making sure that the right pieces overlap the lower pieces to create an undulating three-dimensional picture. Highly detailed oshie pieces contain hundreds of small pieces that are expertly aligned to recreate even the minutest details of the painting in the final process. Facial features are painted in miniature-like exactitude. The end product is an awe-inspiring piece with a surprising three-dimensional effect. The frame is not included. The artist and creator of this signed piece uses antique and vintage kimono and obi fabrics to recreate the works of Japan’s most celebrated traditional paintings, notably in the bijin-ga (beautiful women) tradition.
