Koi Carp Among Pond Plants Ryuryukyo Shinsai Art Postcard

An exquisite woodblock print from 1800 by Ryuryukyo Shinsai, a Japanese surimono artist and student of famous Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai. Ukiyo-e ("pictures of the floating world") is a genre of Japanese woodblock prints (or woodcuts) and paintings produced between the 17th and the 20th centuries, featuring motifs of landscapes, tales from history, the theatre, and pleasure quarters. It is the main artistic genre of woodblock printing in Japan. The Floating World store on Zazzle painstakingly restores these historical treasures to their true colours and fixes basic aging issues. Paper texture and colour are maintained because it reveals the aged beauty of these master works of art.
