Description

Oshie, which literally means “pressed picture,” is a traditional form of Japanese handicraft. Like a jigsaw puzzle, the picture is made up of many pieces. Each piece is wrapped in beautiful kimono fabric, padded with cotton in between, and is glued together to create a three-dimensionally raised figure. This Oshie wall art is presented with a grass reed mat for hanging and measures 10.5"x9.5" with the mat measuring 12"x18".
