About this artwork
This is a colour woodcut by Shibata Zeshin, dated 1868. The print is modest in size, measuring about 25 by 20 centimetres, and it belongs to the body of Japanese fine prints made before 1915. Its subject connects to the theme of eternal flames in art. Zeshin was a lacquer painter and print artist working at the close of the Edo period and into the Meiji era, and he is especially admired in Britain and the United States today. His prints reward a slow, close look.
On your wall: A good choice for a study, hallway or quiet corner, where a Japanese print of this kind can be looked at closely and without distraction.
