'Frugal Hero' Giclée Print
This is one of my favorite designs yet! I based the composition on the Yoshida Hiroshi print, "The Honest Grocer of Nezu" (根津正直八百屋). I really wanted to show a slice of life from the pre-modern era. And what says 'every day' better than grocery shopping?
The large cartouche reads, "腕犯漫" which verbally can be read as "Wan Pan Man", but the characters literally mean "an arm accosts in an unrestrained manner".
The smaller cartouche says, "面白半分で勇者", which means "a hero for the heck of it".
NOTE - You can choose between two paper types for your print:
1) Handmade Japanese Paper: Created by the Kikuchi Studio in Ehime Japan, this paper features a lovely mulberry texture and rough deckled edges. The overall effect makes our giclée prints look like real historical Japanese prints. I'm very proud of these!
2) Western Paper: This is a high quality 80 lb cover paper, similar to hot press watercolor paper. My art prints look stunning on its smooth, matte finish. This is the paper I usually bring to conventions, so if you have purchased art from me at a live event, you probably have this paper style.
Every print is signed by the artist.
Measures 12x17 inches.
This print looks great in three standard 16 x 20 frames (US, Canada) or 40 x 50 cm (everywhere else).
