Japanese Silk Picture 'Oshie' by Kenpo Konishi II
Tapes to the back is a typed out description of the artform, one in Japanese, and one translated to English. Oshi-e 押絵 (lit. means pressed picture) also known as kiritori zaiku was a technique in which pieces were cut from an original drawing and transferred onto thick paper. These forms were covered with brocade, damask, silk or crepe pasted onto a background and then filled with paper or silk wadding to create a padded relief effect.
The 4-year old daughter referred to in the letter, Shoho Konishi, is now a Sensei herself who travels the world teaching the artform.
Measures 41 x 48 cm
Collection from Glasgow G41.
