Details
Originally created in 1883, Utagawa Yoshimaru's "New Print of Insects and Small Creatures" is a vivid exploration of the natural world rendered with the refined detail of the ukiyo-e tradition. Set against a soft pink ground, the composition presents a lively array of insects and small animals, anchored by a prominent toad whose mottled red and cream skin lends a sense of weight and stability amid the surrounding motion.
Yoshimaru’s skillful use of color and line brings each creature to life—from the shimmering blues and greens of dragonflies and grasshoppers to the geometric precision of a spider’s web and the sinuous red form of a centipede. Delicate Japanese labels and fine shading enhance both the educational and tactile qualities of the print, which ultimately celebrates the interconnectedness of life and reflects the Meiji era’s deep fascination with nature and scientific observation.
Each unframed print is rendered on museum-quality archival paper—a substantial, heavyweight stock with a refined matte finish that exudes understated elegance. Designed for collectors who value versatility, these prints arrive ready to frame in your choice of style or display as-is for a modern, gallery-inspired aesthetic.
- —Archival Paper Stock: Premium 200 gsm (80 lb) heavyweight paper with exceptional depth and presence—smooth, uncoated, and luxuriously tactile.
- —Refined Matte Finish: Non-reflective surface that captures rich, nuanced color while eliminating glare—ideal for any lighting environment.
- —Sustainably Sourced: FSC-certified materials ensure environmental responsibility without compromise.
- —Frame-Ready Dimensions: Sized to fit standard frames or showcase independently for a minimalist presentation.
Crafted to order with meticulous attention to detail—no minimums, no mass production.
