{"product_id":"print","title":"Vintage Japanese Shikishi Board Wall Art Caged Birds Design Asian Art","description":"\u003cp\u003eA vintage Shikishi board with a hand painted design of two caged birds with calligraphy to one side complete with an artists seal. Shikishi is a a traditional paper craft consisting of thick board surrounded by many layers of high quality washi paper, lending itself to the watercolour technique as seen in this example! The birds are an obvious pair sharing colour ways and patterning complete in an exceptionally fancy cage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe calligraphy to the side has been suggested to be a Buddhist proverb, “Every day is a good day.” Rather than the \u003cem\u003eLive Love Laugh \u003c\/em\u003einitial thought pattern, instead it is more of a reminder that each day is completely unique, never to be repeated, therefore there is something profound in its uniqueness.

It measures at approximately 27cm by 24cm as is traditional. If you need everything in your house to be sturdy, including the artwork, this is a perfect addition to your home!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Academic’s","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53748429160781,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5152\/1101\/files\/90B770C6-815B-48A1-88D4-D64255D9C5FB.jpg?v=1776588531","url":"https:\/\/theacademicshouse.co.uk\/products\/print","provider":"The Academic’s","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
