{"product_id":"ichibei-i-am-ichibei","title":"- Ichibei (I am Ichibei!) -","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe adorable cat print “Ichibei” (“I Am Ichibei!”) is by Iwao Akiyama (1921–2014). The name Ichibei evokes the image of an old-fashioned, slightly goofy, yet endearing young boy. With humor and affection, Akiyama brilliantly captures a charming cat putting on a brave front—acting tough while remaining cautiously wary. The print wonderfully reflects the artist’s own warm personality and playful sense of humor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrinted on exquisite Japanese washi paper, this woodblock print is titled in Japanese, dated, sheet-numbered, and hand-signed by the artist in the bottom margin. The artist’s red seal, reading “Iwao,” also appears in the lower margin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTechnique: Woodblock\u003cbr\u003ePaper size: 9 inches by 12 inches (23 x 30.5 cm)\u003cbr\u003eSheet number: 11\/100 \u003cbr\u003eDate: 2002\u003cbr\u003eSigned: Hand signed in pencil by the artist\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Overall, very good condition.
