The motif of this screen, consisting of wisteria and morning glory plants with fourteen puppies playing below is in the style of MARUYAMA Okyo, this demonstrating that Seiho studied classical works. The unpainted area has been used effectively to create a feeling of space while the cute young puppies have been portrayed with fine brushstrokes. This work is very valuable as it allows us a glimpse of his early work.
TAKEUCHI Seiho was born in Kyoto and studied the Shijo style of painting under KONO Bairei. He traveled to Europe in 1900 where he came into contact with Western art. He fused traditional Japanese painting with Western styles to produce landscapes, animals, portraits, etc., and he was active as a leader of the Kyoto art world put a lot of energy into educating the next generation of artists and among his students were TSUCHIDA Bakusen and UEMURA Shoen. Although Kyoto remained the base for his activities, he met the writer, MORI Ogai, when they were both judges for the Bunten (Ministry of Education Art Exhibition).

Giclée Quality Guarantee:
Giclée printing is meant to produce a product at a higher quality and longer lifespan than a standard desktop inkjet printer. The word was used to describe digital reproductions of conventional artworks (painting or drawing) or photographs.
There are at least three basic criteria which must be met in order for the print to be considered a true giclée...
- For giclée printing, the paper or substrate used to actually print the final piece must be acid free and consist of a 100% cotton base.
- Any image that is to be printed as a giclée needs to be created at a resolution of no less than 300 dots per inch (DPI). This is to ensure that the final print has the sharpest detail and lacks any of the fragmentation that can occur with images less than 300 DPI.
- The last step to creating or confirming a true giclée print is the type of ink and printer used. The biggest contrast between a standard inkjet print and a giclée print is that giclées are printed using pigment-based inks rather than the dye-based inks found in lower cost inkjets. Pigment-based inks have a longer life span that can last anywhere from 100 to 200 years without significant fading.
The Quality :
The quality of the giclée print rivals traditional silver halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries.
With Giclée printing technology, we are able to provide the best possible quality for the reproduction of fine art masterpieces as well as your personal photos. Our prints capture the subtlest of colors and contrasts, while retaining superb image sharpness.
