Shikishi Gallery

The special gift from Japan.

A Shikishi is a Japanese work of art on drawing cardboard that is given as a gift on special occasions. Images of animals, landscapes, nature scenes, calligraphy, scenes from the traditional Noh theater and even autographs of Japanese artists are part of the variety of Shikishi paintings. The Shikishi pictures can be presented in traditional Kake (mount) or in a picture frame. It is also possible to display the works of art in a specific place.

A special form that we offer as Shikishi is Oshie. This is a traditional form of Japanese handicraft that has been practiced since the Edo period. In this country it is best described as a collage of different materials such as paper, fabrics, cords, etc., which leads to a three-dimensional result.

We offer you a wide variety of originals and prints by Japanese artists exclusively. Let our selection inspire you and give a little piece of Japan as a gift.
