{"product_id":"dragonfly-and-morning-glory-keiri","title":"Dragonfly and Morning Glory - Keiri","description":"\u003cp\u003eA traditional Japanese woodblock print featuring a morning glory flower and a dragonfly, executed in the kacho-ga style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis woodblock print by the artist Keiri belongs to the kacho-ga tradition, a genre focused on the depiction of birds and flowers. The composition features a single morning glory bloom, rendered in warm, muted orange tones, set against dark, textured foliage. A dragonfly hovers to the left, its form captured with precise, economical lines that suggest movement without excessive detail. The background is a neutral, earthy tone, which allows the contrast between the dark leaves and the lighter flower to remain the primary focus of the viewer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print demonstrates the characteristic aesthetic of Japanese woodblock printing, where the economy of line and the balance of negative space are prioritised. The artist employs a limited palette, relying on the interplay of shape and colour to define the subject matter. The leaves are depicted with a distinct, almost geometric quality, contrasting with the softer, organic curves of the morning glory petals. The dragonfly, a common motif in Japanese art, adds a sense of fleeting time and seasonal change to the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeiri uses the woodblock medium to create a flat, graphic quality that is typical of the period. The print avoids heavy shading or perspective, opting instead for a decorative arrangement that emphasises the two-dimensional nature of the paper. This approach allows the viewer to appreciate the specific textures of the wood grain and the application of ink. The work is a quiet observation of nature, capturing a brief moment in a garden setting. It is an example of the technical skill involved in traditional Japanese printmaking, where the collaboration between artist, carver, and printer results in a harmonious final image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/view-of-tokyo-snow-scene-utagawa-hiroshige-ii\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eView of Tokyo, Snow Scene - Utagawa Hiroshige II — Utagawa Hiroshige II\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/yokkaichi-view-of-the-mie-river-utagawa-hiroshige-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eYokkaichi: View of the Mie River - Utagawa Hiroshige — Utagawa Hiroshige\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Keiri","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58738382963023,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58738436342095,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58738436374863,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58738436407631,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58738436440399,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58738436473167,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58738436505935,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58738436538703,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58738436571471,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58738436604239,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58738436637007,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58738436669775,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Dragonfly-and-Morning-Glory_Poster_CompositorV1_1789046985250.jpg?v=1789048065","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/dragonfly-and-morning-glory-keiri","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
