Pl.058 by Kawasaki Kyosen
Plate 058 presents one of the more playful entries in Kyosen's survey — a toy whose exaggerated form and vivid painted expression suggest a festival or ritual origin. The composition is structured around vertical symmetry, with decorative motifs rendered in Kyosen's precise, practiced hand. Warm ochres and muted reds dominate, grounding the piece in the natural pigments of Meiji-era craft. The work sits at the intersection of scientific record and personal affection for a disappearing world.
This canvas print brings a tactile warmth that suits Kyosen's subject beautifully. Produced in our Berlin studio, the woven surface adds subtle depth and body to the brushwork, giving the painted pigments a richness that feels entirely at home on cloth.
