vintage japanese shikishi print : morning glory

A flowering vine is captured with natural grace and lively asymmetry by Koyama Taigetsu (1891-1946) - a beautiful choice for the gardener or plant enthusiast in your life.

Yokoyama Taikan was a leading figure in the early twentieth century Japanese art world, and this print is from a collection of reproductions of original Japanese artworks presented to him for his 60th birthday, in 1928. What an incredible gift!

Printed on shikishi board - a traditional Japanese art material with subtle flecking and a bevelled edge in gold - these works may be framed or propped, and look spectacular in pairs or as a triptych.
