| Meiji, Dye & Design Sample No.16 |
These beautiful dye and design samples, currently thirty-two sheets in our possession and of which eight are listed today, were made by an individual artist or a group of talented painters in the Meiji period to present to kimono boutiques or the intermediating wholesalers.
The base and the frames of the sheets are made of layers of Japanese washi papers with carefully crafted fine silk fabric placed in the middle. Each of the silk are made of different techniques and are all intricately hand decorated with the most innovative designs and delicate colours.
The marks on the bottom corners or the backside of the sheets represent the name of the artist or the leader of craftsmen who produced the works. It reads Kojima Shigetaro from Echigo region, now Niigata prefecture.
These beautiful items are in perfect shapes to be framed for a tasteful display at home or office, and are highly recommended collectibles for kimono and textile collectors.
Eight more pieces coming next week! |
