Lithograph of a Japanese painting by Shoen Uemura. The work is titled "Dianthus." A cute-faced Japanese bush warbler (uguisu) perches among the red and pale pink flowers of the Dianthus, a heartwarming and uplifting scene. The pale, young green is soft, and the red and pale pink colors are reflected beautifully, making it very elegant. I believe I purchased it about 30 years ago. I've been tempted many times to remove the frame and view the original painting, but I've resisted. Removing the glass would likely allow me to convey the beautiful style more realistically...(^^ゞ Please forgive any slight errors due to amateur measurements m(_ _)m Gold-framed size Width 75cm Height 58.5cm Lithograph artwork size (including inscription and seal) Width 55cm Height 39cm Number 203 of a limited edition of 250. 203/250 There was some damage (dents and scratches) to the gold frame from the time of purchase. There was a time when it was displayed in the entrance. Personally, I don't think it detracts from the value as a work of art, but if you are looking for a frame in perfect condition, please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. Purchased at a special exhibition at Tokyu Department Store. I remember it cost over 200,000 yen, but I've forgotten m(_ _)m I will send it in the box shown in the image. For the living room, guest room, or entrance. It's a wonderful piece that gently brightens and illuminates the space, changing the impression and decor.
