ARTIST • Bunpo KAWAMURA
SET CONSISTS OF TWO INDIVIDUAL PRINTS
AVAILABLE IN A4, A3 AND A2 SETS
These Japanese woodblock prints of flowers from the 18th century have a delicate beauty and translucency. Japanese artists printed onto thin, hand-made paper (washi) that here allow underlying designs to show through in relief. The effect is multi-layered and serene, allowing the designs to almost float across the page.
