An Actor Applies Makeup in his Dressing Room - Yoshimune Arai 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

An Actor Applies Makeup in his Dressing Room opens on the most private rite of public spectacle. Created by Yoshimune Arai and published by Hasegawa Takejiro in Tokyo, 1900, this kuchi-e polychrome woodblock illustration situates a kabuki actor mid-transformation — seated in seiza upon a pale lavender-mauve cushion before a vermilion-lacquered mirror stand, brush raised to a dark-lined eye caught in the glass. The ivory robe slips from bare shoulders; the charcoal-brown and white geometric textile folds pool around him.

Meiji-era woodblock printing is felt in every controlled line: flat color zones locked in precise contour, the red-lacquer surface rendered without shadow yet saturated with presence. A black wig waits on its katsura stand to the left — patience made material. The room holds the logic of the dressing room as ceremonial space, where tasseled ornaments hang from their rod and brushes cluster near a blush-pink peony in a celadon vase, marking the border between the actor's face and the role that will replace it.
