Japanese Contemporary Framed Silk Mask Handcrafted Oshie Decorative Art

About the Item

Extraordinary Japanese contemporary framed and signed handcrafted Japanese Oshie wall decorative art piece with a three-dimensional effect depicting a striking dramatic "Hannya" mask. Hannya mask is one of the most recognizable masks in Noh plays that dates back to mid-16th century. It appears with fangs and two sharp horns. In Japan it is believed to ward off the evil and believed to be the word for wisdom. Oshie 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 and elite women of status 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. 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, notably in the beloved bijin-ga (beautiful women) tradition. 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 design 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 frame is not included The creator of this signed piece has created equisitely intricate and detailed Oshie pieces for over three decades. She has prided herself in using only te finest antique and vintage kimono and obi fabrics to recreate the works of Japan’s most celebrated traditional paintings, notably in the bijin-ga (literally "picture of beautiful woman") tradition. This stunning Oshie piece comes in a beautiful custom-made frame and matting. Dimensions: H 25 in, D 21.5 in.
