Japanese Meiji Era Woodblock Textile Print – Vintage Green and Blue Wave Pattern — in a red oak frame
Green and Blue Wave Pattern, from Shima Shima (1906)

SPOTLIGHT ON

Furuya Kōrin

Furuya Kōrin (1875–1910) was a Kyoto designer of the Meiji era, working in the Rinpa tradition of bold, decorative pattern that descends from Ogata Kōrin two centuries before him.

His pattern books, published by Shimbi Shoin in Kyoto, gathered designs for textiles and the decorative arts in collectible volumes. Shima Shima, issued in 1906, is devoted to stripes and waves: patterns built from repetition and rhythm in a restrained palette of indigo, green, and gold.

The Japanese textile prints in our collection are drawn from those 1906 pattern books, each design reproduced as it appeared on the page.

La Farsa – La Parranda 1920s Spanish Art Deco Vintage Poster Print — in a black frame

It started at a bookstall in Madrid

Vintage Print Project began with a stack of 1920s La Farsa theatre booklets, found at an outdoor book market in Madrid, in the shadow of the Prado. They were a rare set, and the covers, zarzuela artwork by some of Spain's finest illustrators, were too good to keep in a drawer.

So they became prints. Then came WPA posters from New York, pattern books from Kyoto, Italian poster art, and everything since. The idea has not changed: find art with a past, restore it with care, and print it properly.

Japanese Meiji Era Woodblock Textile Print – Vintage Green and Blue Wave Pattern — framed view

Museum-quality is a spec, not a slogan

Every piece starts as a careful restoration, then prints with archival pigment inks on heavyweight matte paper chosen for flat, glare-free color. Framed pieces are milled from solid Ayous wood, finished with a clear Acrylite front, and arrive with hanging hardware attached, ready for the wall out of the box.

Because each print is made to order, nothing sits in a warehouse. Yours is printed close to where you live and delivered in 5 to 12 business days.

Read the framing guide

The print, in detail

  • 189 g/m²

    Heavyweight archival matte paper, 10.3 mil thick, with a smooth finish that keeps glare off the art.

  • Pigment inks

    Archival pigment inks, printed one piece at a time, for color that is rated to last generations.

  • Ayous wood

    Frames milled from sustainably sourced Ayous, with a slim 0.75 in profile, in black, red oak, or white.

  • Acrylite front

    A clear, light front that protects the print without the weight of glass. Arrives ready to hang.

  • Rolled in a triangular box

    Unframed prints are rolled, never folded, and shipped in a rigid triangular box that shrugs off crushing and bent corners.

  • Framed prints, extra padding

    Framed pieces travel in a secure box with extra padding around the frame, so the art and the Acrylite front arrive exactly as they left.
