Pl.042 by Kawasaki Kyosen
Plate 042 from Kawasaki Kyosen's documentation of Japanese folk objects presents its subject with the devotion of a true observer. Kyosen spent decades travelling Japan to record handmade objects — toys, vessels, regional curiosities — that carried local identity and craft tradition in equal measure. His compositions give these modest objects a dignified presence: centred, clearly lit, surrounded by the kind of space that asks you to look properly. The style sits between illustration and record, formal without being stiff.
The textured canvas surface adds a material warmth that suits Kyosen's subject matter — objects made by hand, documented by hand, now reproduced by hand in our Berlin studio. This canvas art print uses museum-grade archival inks to preserve the quiet colour and careful line of the originals.
