Shimagasuri (Modern beauty in Japanese Kimono)
$ 1,200.00
Fabulous modern Bijin-ga print "Shimagasuri" (Modern beauty in Japanese Kimono) is by Matazo Kayama (1927-2004). Matazo Kayama was a Japanese Nihon-ga painter of the 20th century, born in Kyoto in 1927. He is a well-known artist in Japan and also a worldwide artist. Many of his artworks have been sold at famous auctions, including Christie's New York. This print is highly desirable and hard to find. This print shows modern and cool Japanese beauty. Very exotic and mysterious mood. Shimagasuri is a type of Japanese Kimono fabric that has been woven with fibers dyed specifically to create stripe patterns in the fabric.
Colors are vivid, vibrant and have amazing contrast. All information about this print is on the right margin.

I just want to add information about his model. Her name is Yufu (written Yufu but called Yuu, very old way to read) She was his student at Tama Art University. Kayama had used the same model 'Yuu" for 13 years and he made 3,500 sketches of her. Her husband is also Kayama's student and artist. I read a book and it was very interesting. Yuu became a Nihon-ga (Japanese painting) artist after retiring from being the model for Kayama.

Stone monument "Kokanseki"
Ancient Shirakawa barrier is a historic place and is located about 10 km south of Shirakawa city. It was set up in the 5th century. At that time, there were different ethnic groups in northern Japan. But the Japanese government was expanding its territory to the north. This barrier was built on the main route for protection from the groups. After that, the Japanese government had occupied the whole Tohoku District, then this barrier had felt into desuetude completely. But some of heroes or intellectuals in various periods in history visited here because this legendary site had been the only entrance to Tohoku District. Over time, the remains had been lost completely. In 1800, Sadanobu Matsudaira, the lord of Shirakawa Domain, confirmed the exact location by the study of various historical documents. He built a stone monument at that place. Now there are only the stone monument, Shirakawa Shrine built-in 771, and some landmarks of buildings and moats.
