Japanese Asian Oshie Pressed Textile Old Monk Framed Shadow Puppet Doll
About the Item
A wonderful, handcrafted work of a Japanese monk/ old man doll shadow puppet who appears to be making an offering of some sort.
Oshie, which translates as pressed pictures, is a traditional Japanese art form that can be traced back to the Edo period and usually consist of paper and sections of kimono fabric that are hand-pressed together to give the work a three-dimensional feel.
We have seen only a handful of other examples of this art form so are assuming they are somewhat rare.
Great use of negative space in this composition by the artist.
