This image is part of the Japanese School of Art collection, which is known for ethereal grace and delicate, luminous colors. Japan’s earliest art reflects strong Buddhist influences, and for centuries, both religious and secular art thrived. For most of their history, the Japanese wrote with a pen instead of a brush, making them especially sensitive to the aesthetics of painting. They are also masters of ukiyo-e, or woodblock printing. Japan has made significant contributions to contemporary art, fashion and architecture.
This giclée print delivers a vivid image with maximum color accuracy and exceptional resolution. The standard for museums and galleries around the world, giclée (French for “to spray”) is a printing process where millions of ink droplets are sprayed onto the paper’s surface. With the great degree of detail and smooth transitions of color gradients, giclée prints appear much more realistic than other reproduction prints. The high-quality paper (235 gsm) is acid free with a smooth surface.
