Wonderful Japanese woodblock print with five flying red and black birds and a large silver moon, seen through a white diamond mesh.
This is a rare Japanese art print that has a lovely sense of movement - from the birds, yet also a feeling of peace and quiet from the subtle full gleam of the silver-inked moon. To look at it feels like you are peering through a mesh curtain, looking to a warm wide open night sky.
The artwork is roughly a5 in size and would suit someone who likes Japanese culture or who has been to Japan. It has a gentle, exotic feel and would make a wall look unique and chic.
As this picture is nice to look at close up it would suit an alcove, stairway, hall or landing, but would work in a bedroom or lounge too.
It would make a nice gift - the silver glints in the light, giving this picture a special, luxurious feel and could make a striking wedding or anniversary present.
There's a lovely sense of balance to the composition of this picture - the birds are flying in a diagonal line, splitting the image, the moon fills one half, the birds gently curve around it.
The art print was reprinted in Japan in the 1960s and was originally printed in the early 1900s.
Choose to have this art print arrive in three ways, as is, simply a piece of paper; mounted (sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 " / 25.4 x 20.3 cms frame) or framed. The black and gold frame pictured is made from responsibly sourced timber with real glass from Dunhelm.
Advice for hanging: original artwork should not be hung above radiators / heat sources, nor in damp or steamy rooms such as kitchens, bathrooms or conservatories.
