'Shabu Shiba' Giclee Print

Shabu Shabu is a type of Japanese hotpot dish. Thin slices of beef and vegetables are very briefly passed through simmering broth, until they are quickly cooked to perfection. This dish is often eaten on special occasions, with friends and family, or when going out for a memorable meal. These two Shiba customers seem to be making their own special memories.

The larger caption says 'Shabu Shiba'.

The smaller caption is a parody of a famous verse by the poet Saigyo. The original poem reads:

みちのべにしみづながるるやなぎかげしばしとてこそたちどまりつ

 

In the shade of a roadside willow, near a clear flowing stream I stopped,
for just a while, I thought... 

Our version took a slightly different approach:

みちのべにしば犬ごのみのしやぶしやぶをしばしとてこそくひだふれつれ

At our favorite roadside shabu-shabu restaurant, we only intended to taste a little, but we ate until we dropped...

Anyone who's been to an all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu restaurant might have had a similar experience!

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).

Jed really likes this one for its simple design.
