About Kono Bairei

Kono Bairei (1844–1895) was a Kyoto figurative painter trained in the Maruyama-Shijō school, where close observation of nature met refined brushwork. He became one of the Meiji era's leading masters of kacho-e, the bird-and-flower genre, and worked extensively as a woodblock illustrator. His celebrated picture books, including Hyakucho Gafu (Album of a Hundred Birds), distilled feathers, blossoms, and branches into spare, exact studies.

About the artwork

Plate 04 moves deeper into the series with a livelier energy — a small flock captured mid-movement, wings angled against a spare background that emphasizes speed and lightness. Bairei's line is confident and economical; a few sure strokes describe a feather, a claw, an eye. The mood is fresh and kinetic, evoking early spring when birds are active and the air carries a sense of renewal. Negative space is used masterfully to convey open sky without depicting it.

The canvas surface draws out the gestural quality of Bairei's brushwork, adding tactile depth to what originated as woodblock print. The slight texture of the weave gives the birds physical presence on the wall. Produced in our Berlin studio using museum-grade archival inks, this canvas print is built to last generations.

What's included

Canvas print stretched on a wooden stretcher frame. Hangers are not included. Available as an add-on: Canvas Frame Hook.

Happy Customers

Questions? We're here.

Any questions about this print — just reach out.

Which canvas do you use?

400 g cotton canvas with a visible weave, stretched on a wooden stretcher frame about 2 cm deep. We use Japanese pigment inks and the giclée process.

How long does delivery take?

We make every order in our Berlin studio, usually within 1 to 3 working days, and then hand it to the carrier. In Germany it arrives 2 to 5 working days later. Other countries take longer, and Swiss parcels can sit a day or two at customs.

Can I return my order?

Yes — we offer 30-day hassle-free returns on all prints. If your print arrives damaged or there is a quality issue, we will replace it free of charge.

How do you make sure of the quality?

Our own team makes every art print and canvas print in our Berlin workshop, from printing to framing to packing. What you pay goes into the quality: Japanese pigment inks, matte fine art paper, cotton canvas and solid wood frames in oak, black or brown.

Art print or canvas print?

Choose an art print if you like crisp detail and a classic look behind acrylic glass. Choose a canvas print if you want the texture of a painting and no glass at all. With a floating frame, the canvas seems to float on the wall.

What is a floating frame?

A floating frame is a frame without glass in which the canvas sits with a narrow gap all around. That makes the picture seem to float. Our gap is 5 to 10 mm depending on size, the moulding is 1 cm, and we mount the frame for you.

How do I hang a canvas print?

There are no hangers on the stretcher frame. The Canvas Frame Hook gives you two nail hooks that you hammer into the wall, no drilling and no wall plugs. You hang the canvas print on them, with or without floating frame.

Is this a giclée print?

Yes. We make every canvas print with the giclée process, using Japanese pigment inks on cotton canvas. The inks are archival and made to last over 100 years.

How high should I hang a picture?

The centre of the picture works best at 145 to 150 cm above the floor. Above a sofa or sideboard, the picture should be about two thirds as wide as the furniture.
