Item description from seller

Title: Japanese Folklore Print: A Colorful Depiction of a Traditional Oni Encounter Description: This striking Japanese print captures a vibrant and dynamic scene from folklore, where a young woman appears to be scattering beans to banish an oni?a traditional Japanese ogre or demon. Richly detailed and vividly colored, the print is bordered by an ornate pattern that frames the composition with a regal elegance. The powerful color contrasts of red, blue, and green enhance the dramatic tension of the scene, evoking the legendary Setsubun festival where beans are thrown to drive away evil spirits. Lithographed by W. Greve in Berlin and published by Sampson Low & Co., this piece is part of a collection that celebrates Japanese art in the late 19th to early 20th century. The illustration combines delicate lines and bold colors in a style reminiscent of classical woodblock printing, capturing the lively folklore tradition in every brushstroke. The artist's red seal is featured at the bottom right, lending authenticity and adding a layer of historical significance to the piece. This captivating image not only illustrates a traditional practice but also reflects Japan's rich cultural heritage and its connection to seasonal rites and rituals. For collectors of Japanese prints, folklore art, or mythological depictions, this scene would be a unique and engaging addition, telling a timeless story through its visual narrative. Condition Report: The print is in good condition with some minor foxing spots typical of prints of this age, especially around the borders but outside the image. The colors remain fresh and bright, and the paper is stable and intact with no tears or significant wear. Framing Tips: Use a dark wooden frame with a soft, neutral mat to highlight the vibrant colors and detailed borders. A deep navy or forest green mat would complement the lively colors and enrich the folkloric drama of the print.…
