Japanese Woodblock Print 'The Three Vinegar Tasters' after Kano School Artist Biography

Product ID: 242052231

Description

This Japanese woodblock print titled 'The Three Vinegar Tasters', measuring 12 x 17 inches with an image size of 10 1/2 x 6 inches, represents an allegorical theme in East Asian art, illustrating the harmony of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. The work, categorized as being 'after the Kano School Muramachi painting', is a later reproduction inspired by the influential Kano School, known for its synthesis of Chinese and Japanese styles. The original painting is often attributed to Kanō Motonobu (1476–1559). The print comes with minor visible creasing and age-related toning. The mid-20th century wooden frame has some scuffs and scratches. An unidentified sticker on the back indicates a previous framing by 'Hudson's pictures, gifts, framing.' This piece is a thoughtful addition for collectors interested in traditional Japanese art or the evocative themes presented in the Kano School's works.
