Item description for Blue Japanese Katabira Summer Robe Wall Art Poster 20 x 24 in

A gorgeous example of a blue color Japanese Katabira, a style of unlined summer dress made in the late Edo period for high-ranking Samurai ladies.

The robe was made of a very lightweight fabric, often hemp, and was worn over other garments. This one has been stencilled with very detailed patterns of streams, trees and clouds, using natural dyes, and finished with lots of tiny flowers embroidered with silk and gold threads.

This robe was often referred to as "Imperial Court dress."

PS:

Vintage art was not sized to fit our modern frame sizes. Most original work is much longer, or too short to fit a standard frame.

Sadly, many print suppliers crop vintage art to make it fit standard sizes, but this risks losing beautiful parts of the artwork.

I believe that you should be able to view the old artwork in its full glory. And so you'll find many of the prints here have non-standard white borders.

These allow you to crop the print to the size you want. Or frame it as it is in a glass clipframe; or with a matt in a contrasting shade to bring the artwork to life.

Your choice of frame makes a world of difference to your artwork too. Enjoy your print.
