Evil Spirit - Aoi no Ue, Tsukioka Kogyo 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

Tsukioka Kogyo's Aoinoue art print catches Lady Rokujo at the instant jealousy grows horns. Her hannya mask bares a lacquer-red mouth, gilt eyes fixed on a folded vermilion kosode standing in for Lady Aoi, Prince Genji's wife, sick on the Noh stage. Kogyo trusted the empty dove-gray ground to carry the dread.

Study the sleeves. Slate-blue triangles tile her white robe in the uroko scale pattern, a costume code for a woman turning serpent from the inside out. Lower down, a teal overskirt churns with pewter clouds and black-winged birds, bunched in one fist like weather she won't set down. Her striped striking wand points at nobody... yet.

Kogyo, adopted son of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, drew actors he watched from real theater seats. Printed in 1922 for Nōgaku Hyakuban, this Taishō-era Japanese woodblock print pulls the Heian court of The Tale of Genji into pigment and carved cherry wood. 

Tale of Genji readers will know the Kamo festival carriage quarrel that birthed this rage. But anyone can feel it. Pin this vintage Japanese art print above a quiet desk and let a thousand-year-old grudge hover beside your morning tea.
