Pl.064 by Kawasaki Kyosen
Plate 064 occupies a distinguished place in Kyosen's catalogue — the object depicted is rendered with unusual compositional generosity, allowing its shape and painted surface to breathe within the picture plane. The toy's form implies regional origin: Kyosen documented hundreds of locally specific objects, each embedded with distinct cultural meaning. His brushwork here is both factual and tender, giving the piece the double quality of an artefact study and a quiet still life in the Japanese tradition.
Produced as a canvas print in our Berlin studio, this reproduction gains warmth and physical presence that flat paper simply cannot offer. The woven texture adds a quiet depth to Kyosen's painted surfaces, giving the object depicted a tactile substance that feels entirely in keeping with its craft origins.
