Basketry Work: By the Craftsman Ichida Shoshichiro of Naniwa - Utagawa Kunisada Art Print
Couldn't load pickup availability
Spring air in Edo smells of split bamboo. Utagawa Hiroshige's vintage Japanese woodblock print catches the 1819 craze for basketry work by the craftsman Ichida Shōshichirō of Naniwa, when Osaka weavers bent cane into beasts and sages for Asakusa crowds. Every inch of jade green ground carries a cream kagome lattice, the hexagram weave of a farmer's basket stretched into sky.
Bukan Zenji rides at the center. The Zen monk wears a coral robe and gold hoop earrings, a horsehair whisk hanging from his fist like a pulled cloud. Under him a tiger in saffron and ink-black stripes naps with eyes half shut. Its tail loops above the monk's bald head, a woven halo nobody ordered. A grinning man in a violet fur-collared coat tickles the great paw with a bamboo sprig.
Above them the misemono sideshow drifts on. Phoenix feathers trail in rust and bone. A kirin with a flaming mane sniffs a curly shishi lion, and a spotted cat guards its scarlet cushion. Edo period ukiyo-e laughs here through a thousand bamboo knots.

Wall Art Size Guides
Framed Art Prints
1. Vertical
Use the sawtooth hanger at the top middle on the back of the frame and hang it on a single screw or nail.
2. Horizontal
Hang the two sawtooth hangers on two screws or nails at the same heightPut two screws or nails in the wall at the same height, spaced the same distance apart as the two sawtooth hangers, then hang your print on them.
Framed Canvas
1. D-rings (most secure)
Screw a D-ring onto the back of the frame on the left and right, both at the same height. A ruler helps here. Then put two screws in the wall where you want your canvas, level with each other and spaced the same distance apart as the D-rings. A spirit level makes this easier. Finally, hook the D-rings onto the screws.
2. Straight onto screws
Keep it simple: put two screws in the wall at the same height and rest the inner lip at the top of the back of the frame on them.
