Stole Hokusai - Bullfinch and weeping cherry-tree - 160 x 32 cm
CH100472
This stole is inspired by a detail of a work from the series of Small Flowers by the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), "Bullfinch and weeping cherry-tree", 1834.
The series of Large Flowers and Small Flowers testify to his qualities of observation of nature, of an almost scientific precision in the line.
Finish: Hand-rolled hem.
Hand-rolled is a refined hemming technique based on the skills of hand sewing.
The craft of roulotting, once widespread in France, is now disappearing. Only a few well-known brands still practice it.
Bullfinch and Weeping Cherry Blossoms: An Iconic Japanese Print
Created in 1834, the original print "Bullfinch and Weeping Cherry Blossoms" is a polychrome print (nishiki-e) on laid paper. Housed at the Guimet Museum in Paris, this 24.40 × 18.20 cm work is part of the "Petites fleurs" series, in which the artist employs almost scientific precision to depict nature. The nishiki-e printing technique allowed for the use of multiple engraved woodblocks to create images with subtle and detailed colors.
