Description

Nocturnal sentinel, perched on time's edge. Your iPhone becomes a portal to Meiji-era mystique. Numata Kashu's owl, a feathered philosopher, gazes through the digital veil. 

Woodblock whispers of 1880s Japan echo in every pixel. This case is a rebel yell against mass-produced monotony. You're not just protecting your device; you're cradling a slice of artistic revolution.

Kashu's creation transcends mere ornithology. It's a bird-and-branch fever dream, where tradition tangos with modernity. Your pocket cradling the essence of ukiyo-e resurgence, a rare glimpse into a vanishing world of avian artistry. This isn't just accessorizing - it's time travel, wrapped in polycarbonate.

About the Artist

Numata Kashu, active in the late 19th century, was a Japanese artist celebrated for his vivid woodblock prints, particularly his renowned "A Picture Book of Birds." Published during the Meiji era, this three-volume collection brought Japan's birdlife to life with dynamic compositions and intricate detail. Kashu’s birds, adorned with vibrant plumage, are depicted in scenes blending traditional East Asian styles with the renewed vigor of Meiji-era creativity.

Despite the rarity of original prints, Kashu's work remains a treasured piece of Japanese art history, capturing a period of cultural blossoming where nature and artistry intertwined in colorful harmony.
