Japanese Contemporary Brocade Silk Handcrafted Framed Oshie Decorative Art

Highly detailed Oshie pieces contain hundreds of small pieces expertly aligned, to recreate the works of Japan’s most celebrated traditional paintings in the minutest details. Oshie resembles a carefully crafted very intricate jigsaw puzzle comprising numerous intricate pieces of wadded kimono silk and brocade fabric expertly put together to create a relief art piece, an undulating three-dimesional picture. Painstaking and time-consuming attention to details is entailed in recreating each elaborate kimono, head wear and intricate painting of facial features in miniature-like exactitude. The end product is a mesmerizing piece with a surprising three-dimensional effect.

The creator of this exquisite signed piece has created extremely intricate and detailed Oshie pieces for over three decades. She has prided herself in using the most exquisite antique and vintage kimono and obi fabrics to recreate the works of Japan’s most celebrated traditional paintings, notably in the beloved bijin-ga (beautiful women) tradition. Oshie pieces of this exquisite quality are very hard to find in Japan and there are only a handful of artists who are still actively creating new Oshie pieces.

This stunning signed oshie wall decorative art piece does not include the frame. The very unique exquisite custom-made wooden frame and elegant matting can be separately purchased and the list price for the frame is $950.
