Trying to identify a print that belonged to my uncle |
Posted By: Birdie in NM Posted Date: Nov 03, 2013 (04:46 PM) |
Message My uncle was in Japan during and after World War II, and was given a set of gorgeous prints by a Japanese official. They are really unusual; they depict traditional Japanese scenes of family and work life, and if you lift them up, there is another print underneath each of them, a print which looks like was made from a real flower. One is a chrysanthamum, one is a lily of some sort, etc. The set consists of four prints, each with a different flower print hidden under the other print. They are really something. I am going to get them all framed - although I don't know how to do so and show the underlying prints as well. I would love to know who the artist was, as these are a part of my family's history. Thanks so much!! Post a Response |
