Large Japanese Contemporary Gilded Silk and Brocade Framed Oshie Decorative Art

About the Item

A sophisticated technique is used to transform highest quality kimono fabrics into exquisite antique pieces of kimono fabric to recreate a Genryoku kosode kimono . Tagasode is the way a Genryoku kosode kimono is hung over a kimono rack. The kosode is considered the origin of modern kimono. According to the designer of this series, tagasode originated from the desire of ladies of the court to preserve their exquisite kimonos, and thus kimono designs showcasing the Four Seasons in Japan, its history and its customs have been passed down all the way to the present time. This series conveys the beauty and sensibility that the history of Japan reflects and at the same time enhance contemporary living spaces. A traditional Japanese handcrafted decorative art form using high quality silk and brocade fabrics, known as oshie (literally, “pressed pictures”) has been used to create this magnificent piece. Oshie resembles a carefully crafted jigsaw puzzle consisting of numerous pieces of kimono fabric padded with slightly varying thickness of cotton and painstakingly glued and ironed together to create an incredible three-dimensional picture. In the final process, the details are accentuated by painting and shading, and facial features are painted in miniature-like exactitude. Dimensions: H 34 in W 26 in D 2 in.
