Japanese Contemporary Framed Brocade Silk Handcrafted Oshie Decorative Art, 2
About the Item
Extraordinary unique Japanese Contemporary large framed and signed traditional Oshie decorative art piece in black and cream, 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 aristrocratic 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. The creator of this signed piece prides herself in using the best antique and vintage kimono and obi fabrics to recreate the works of Japan’s most celebrated traditional paintings, and so was this magnificent art form 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, 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.
In this Oshie piece a lady of status from the Edo period is wearing layers of Kosode, the predecessor of today's kimono. Kosode (小袖、literally "small sleeves") has shorter sleeves than kimono and the sleeves are rounded and padded. This lady is also wearing a very elaborate overcoat in the same kosode style. She hold a peony in pink in her hand and is sitting on a magnificent lacquer chair with elaborate gold decoration. Her her style is of a lady of the court in the Edo period.
The creator of this striking piece has created extremelyintricate and detailed Oshie pieces for over thirty years. She has prided herself in using only the most exquisite silk and brocade kimono and obi fabrics in her works. Oshie pieces of this magnificent quality and this grand size are very hard to find in Japan. There are only a handfull of artists who are still actively creating new Oshie pieces.
This piece will be the focal point in any space and invites the viewer to approach it to enjoy its beauty and details.
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 purchased separately and the list price for the frame is $950.
