Beautiful Japanese woodblock print with a pale gradated green hill background, four silver birds and nine pine trees in two tones of green.
This rare Japanese art print would make a nice gift for someone who likes Japanese culture or who has been to Japan. The flying birds give a nice sense of movement and peace and the pine trees have a striking fan-like pattern that is vibrant to look at. The paleness of the hills in the background and their subtle changing tint (which is very difficult to print) gives this picture a nice calming effect, that would be pleasant to glance at close-up or from afar.
The artwork is roughly a5 in size and would suit an alcove, stairway, hall or landing especially. The art print was reprinted in Japan in the 1960s. The artwork was originally printed in the early 1900s by a master Japanese designer.
Buy it for your home or give it as a gift - it's a print that should be seen and admired.
