Actor Ichikawa Sadanji II as Narukami Shonin - Shunsen Art Print

Fine Art Prints

Forget cheap reproductions and printable posters. Only the best will do. Velvety matte fine art paper (warm white, archival-grade, 200gsm) with bold, vibrant, non-toxic pigment inks. 

High-definition print lab techniques give you sharper details, deeper saturation and true-to-life tones.

The matte surface keeps glare down and archival-grade materials mean the colors you fall for stay vivid for decades.

Framed Fine Art Prints

Your print arrives framed and ready to hang, so it goes straight from the box to your wall.

Chevron cut wooden frames make a timeless statement in three distinctive colors: black, white and natural.

Each frame is made of sustainably sourced FSC® certified European knotless pine, finished with ultra-clear perspex glaze that’s lighter than glass and shatter-resistant.

Float Framed Canvas Prints

Luscious artist-grade cotton canvas, hand-stretched and finely textured, gives every detail depth and precision. Its natural white surface catches light and color with striking clarity.

A precisely measured floating frame leaves a slim gap around the canvas, so it seems to hover with a sleek, gallery-worthy effect.

Your choice of a black, white or natural frame: all made from sustainably sourced FSC® certified European knotless pine.

Giclée Printing

Natori Shunsen pulls Ichikawa Sadanji II as Narukami Shonin close enough to count the creases in his frown. Oshiroi white masks the face. Safflower beni pools under each eyelid, and indigo flicks up from the brows toward a sumi-black wig carved hair by hair in the kewari technique.

Look at the mouth. It sags like a dry riverbed. This holy man once caged the rain dragons and starved the land of water, until a princess with a sake cup opened the sky. Two tufts of hair bound in violet cord hang beside his jaw. His robe tears into a thunderclap pattern of pewter and mustard gold.

Shunsen made this shin-hanga Japanese woodblock print in 1920s Tokyo, for publisher Watanabe Shozaburo and his revival of ukiyo-e craft. A blind-embossed grain ripples through the cloth. Behind him, flames in tangerine and jade rehearse the thunder god he is becoming. One of the Eighteen Great Plays of kabuki stares back at you, and it is thirsty.
