AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An absolute masterclass in 20th-century Japanese textile art. This is a rare, museum-grade original mixed-media applique collage by the legendary Japanese artist Ayako Miyawaki (1905-1995). Celebrated internationally—including a landmark solo exhibition at the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) in 1991—Miyawaki completely revolutionized the art of cloth pictures (Harie) by masterfully hand-stitching reclaimed vintage textiles, rags, and historic kimono fabrics into poetic, minimalist representations of nature. This exquisite composition depicts a marine threadfish with shimmering, textured layers that dynamically catch the light. Authenticated on the front with her traditional red seal stamp (Hanko), and fully signed and titled in elegant black ink calligraphic kanji on the reverse, alongside her Western-style hand-written signature
