An engaging and quite coveted work by famed Japanese artist Kaoru Kawano who was known for his whimsical portrayals of women, children, and animals. Stylistically, he was one of the first Japanese artists to combine Western-style elements with the traditional methods of woodblock printmaking. This work is known as "The Big Owl" Kawano's owl images are some of his most popular works, this one in particular. This print is hand signed in pencil and sealed (in red) by Kawano within the image. This work is a quite rare self-printed lifetime print. Prints made and signed by Kawano are becoming harder to find. A very beautiful and rich image. Would make for a great addition to any Japanese art and print collection or eye-catching stand-out accent work in about any setting. Frame dimensions: 21.25" high, 16.25" wide, .5" deep Viewable art: 14.5" x 9.5". Please note that the work is framed but there is no glass covering...

Title: Antique Japanese Kabuki Print: Enigmatic Woman with Scroll and Spider, 19th Century Description: This stunning 19th-century Japanese print depicts a striking scene from kabuki theater or folklore, rendered with vivid color and dramatic elegance. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and lithographed in Paris by Imp. Lemercier & Cie under the direction of G. A. Audsley, this piece captures a moment of intense narrative and refined artistry. The print features a woman dressed in an elaborate kimono adorned with intricate floral patterns, her flowing hair and serious expression hinting at a story of mystery and transformation. She holds an impossibly long scroll covered with fine calligraphy, unspooling to the ground where a small spider lurks—an ominous presence that likely alludes to the famous kabuki tale of Jorogumo, the spider spirit that takes the form of a beautiful woman to ensnare her victims. The color palette of deep blacks, rich reds, and soft greens enhances the print’s sense of drama, while the finely rendered spiderweb background reinforces the supernatural atmosphere. The precision of the linework and the texture of the print exemplify the best of late 19th-century Japanese color printing, merging traditional Japanese themes with European lithographic techniques. For collectors of kabuki art...

Please read the entire description carefully, as we strive to provide complete technical and historical details to ensure the authenticity of our objects. These two “faux bamboo” frames enclose color prints on paper, depicting compositions of marine corals in strange and rare shapes. The print on the left depicts a seaweed-shaped coral, with intricate details reminiscent of some species of the genus Acropora; the composition on the right depicts a coral belonging to the Gorgonian family, with the peculiarity of being depicted coiled on itself. These colored prints, made in Italy, date from a time when naturalists and illustrators created detailed plates to document and study marine flora and fauna, and can be dated between 1750 and 1770. Their uniqueness lies in the fact that they were used as a medium for writing a text (a letter)at the same time or shortly thereafter. Antique color prints with handwritten text on the entire surface represent an example of an ancient practice called manuscript on image or illustrated manuscript. This technique was widespread in various eras and contexts, both artistic and practical. In medieval manuscripts, it was common to embellish texts with elaborate miniatures, illustrations, and initial letters, often in color. Although not entirely identical, this practice reflects the historical interest in the integration of text and image. During the Victorian period and into the early 1900s, it was common to write letters and messages on picture postcards, often embellished with colorful images and decorations, with lettering covering part or all of the illustration. Japanese ukiyo-e prints often combined images with poems or handwritten descriptions, and this practice spread between the 17th and 19th centuries. Modern and contemporary artists have taken up and reinterpreted this tradition: for example, German artist Anselm Kiefer has created works that combine images with handwritten text across the entire surface. In short, handwriting on color prints was not as common as simple illustrations, but there are numerous historical and modern examples of how text and image can be combined in unique and creative ways. Another notable detail of our prints is that the one on the right has the price “5 soldi” imprinted at the top. The "soldo" is a historical Italian currency with a long and rich history. The soldo originated in the Middle Ages, with the first documented issuance dating back to the Carolingian Empire, around 800 AD. The term “soldo” derives from the Latin word “solidus,” which was a Roman gold coin...
