Fans and Stream - Sakai Hoitsu 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. While 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 knotless pine. And your artwork is protected behind 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, catching light and color with striking clarity. While a precisely measured floating frame leaves a slim gap around the canvas, so it seems to hover with a sleek, gallery-worthy effect. Finished with your choice of frame color — black, white or natural — made from sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine.

Giclée Printing

A gust crosses the bridge at Arashiyama. One courtier loses his grip. Sakai Hoitsu paints the second after, and this Fans and Stream art print holds it open. Japanese folding fans tumble down a field of gold toward water of azurite blue. Each is a small painting thrown away for the joy of watching it fall.

Read them as a calendar coming apart. A peony opens in oyster-shell white, pinned by vermilion ribs. Mount Fuji keeps its snowcap above a slope of malachite green. At the bank an iris has gone violet-blue and a branch of plum blossom is already going under. Ink-wash hills sit beside a cinnabar leaf banded with cloud and pine. A red-cheeked pheasant struts past camellias blotted onto leaves of pooled sumi, the wet-in-wet trick called tarashikomi. Four seasons, loose in one afternoon.

Hoitsu was born into the Sakai house, lords of Himeji Castle, then shaved his head and chose the brush. He painted these panels late in the Edo period, two centuries after Tawaraya Sotatsu sold painted fans from a Kyoto shop. Call it Edo Rinpa: the old capital's game replayed far east of that river. The stream curls gold eddies around every paper moon it swallows.
