A TRIBUTE TO KUNIYOSHI

This fabulous feature from AP Limited Editions is inspired by the triptych by Uttagawa Kuniyoshi, one of the greatest masters of the Japanese art style of Ukiyo-e woodblock prints.

Kuniyoshi was versatile in his depiction of many art themes. This depiction is based on a popular Japanese novel written by Santo Kyuden, called the Story of Uto Yasutaka where a giant skeleton appears on the summons of Princess Takiyasha to subdue the conspirators who killed her father.

This popular story is vividly expressed by the skilled Maki-e Artist in this multi-dimensional feature crafted in brilliant Urushi colors and raised, Taka Maki-e and Togidashi techniques.
