{"product_id":"kagamiyama-utagawa-kuniyoshi","title":"Kagamiyama - Utagawa Kuniyoshi","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined woodblock print fragment by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, featuring birds in flight and architectural details from the Harimaze series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis woodblock print is a section from the series A Harimaze Mirror of Joruri Plays, produced by the master Utagawa Kuniyoshi. The term harimaze refers to a format where multiple distinct images are printed on a single large sheet, intended to be cut apart by the purchaser. This specific fragment depicts a group of birds in flight against a muted, atmospheric background, positioned above a structural architectural element.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKuniyoshi is recognised for his technical skill and his ability to capture movement within the constraints of the woodblock medium. The composition balances the dynamic, angular forms of the birds with the rigid, geometric lines of the roof structure at the base. The colour palette is restrained, relying on subtle gradients of grey and deep blue to suggest the time of day or weather conditions. The inclusion of traditional Japanese calligraphy along the right margin provides a graphic counterpoint to the naturalistic subject matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a representative example of late Edo-period printmaking, this work demonstrates the artist's interest in both narrative themes and observational studies. The print reflects the aesthetic preferences of the time, where the juxtaposition of text and image was a common feature in popular graphic arts. The woodblock process allows for clean lines and flat areas of colour, which Kuniyoshi employs here to create a sense of depth despite the two-dimensional nature of the medium. This piece offers a glimpse into the diverse output of one of the most prolific artists of the Utagawa school, whose work spanned subjects from heroic legends to quiet observations of the natural world.\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\/nihonbashi-bridge-and-edobashi-bridge-utagawa-hiroshige\" 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;\"\u003eNihonbashi Bridge and Edobashi Bridge - Utagawa Hiroshige — Utagawa Hiroshige\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/vehicles-on-the-streets-of-tokyo-utagawa-yoshitora\" 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;\"\u003eVehicles on the Streets of Tokyo - Utagawa Yoshitora — Utagawa Yoshitora\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Utagawa Kuniyoshi","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58970127532367,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58970137690447,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58970137723215,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58970137755983,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58970137788751,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58970137821519,"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":58970137854287,"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":58970137887055,"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":58970137919823,"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":58970137952591,"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":58970137985359,"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":58970138018127,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Kagamiyama_Poster_CompositorV1_1790804699425.jpg?v=1790805159","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/kagamiyama-utagawa-kuniyoshi","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
