Great Wave off Kanagawa Apron

This apron has a design inspired by the work of Artist Lang’s ‘Immortal Blossoms of an Eternal Spring’ series of ink paintings. The particular piece features Chinese herbaceous peony flowers which was painted in Chinese style but incorporating Western techniques of shading and atmospheric perspective, imparting a sense of realism to the native themes. It makes a unique gift and exquisite delight to the kitchen. New & exclusive to JE gallery, bring you the best of oriental art & culture.

This apron is inspired from an ukiyo-e woodblock print by Japanese artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798–1861).  Kuniyoshi was known for his depictions of historical and mythical scenes, the apron featuring a cat impersonating a female kabuki character has struck an octopus on the head with a wooden scoop. It would make a funky gift and fun addition to the kitchen.
