 UKIYO-E ART JAPANESE WOODBLOCK PRINT BOXED MUG "An Elegant Genji in Snow" (Fūryū Genji Yuki no Nagame 風流源氏雪の眺) tryptych by Utagawa Kunisada and Utagawa Hiroshige, 1853. ★ Printed on a high-quality ceramic mug and presented in a matching box with traditional Japanese "asanoha" all-over pattern and calligraphy of
the artists' names and titles of the artwork. This print should be called "an impossibly elegant Genji in snow ". The protagonist, in his as-always-stunning attire, turns his flawless face to the snowy
garden scene - and to the symmetrically impossibly elegant lady across
the garden, who is holding a snow broom with a graceful gesture. The
three little birds fluttering in the air in the centre of the image add
the balance masterstroke for the eye moving between two beautiful
figures and across the snowy landscape. It truly takes a combined
work of TWO (!) masters of ukiyo-e, Utagawa Hiroshige and Utagawa
Kunisada, to create this level of beauty ✨ ★ Reproduced from an archive image, respectfully
and lovingly restored and enhanced digitally, to remove the
non-artistic blemishes and colour fading. ★ 11 oz/320ml Mug. Mug dimensions: 90mm height x 80 mm width, 115mm width with the handle. Mug box is approximately 100mm height x 105mm width x 95mm depth. ★ Our ceramic mugs are microwave and dishwasher safe, however we'd recommend hand washing to preserve the design! ♡ ★ Created and printed with love ♥ in England . ★ Carefully packed and dispatched in a strong double-wall cardboard box for safe transit. ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡  |
