Deux Birodo Yuzen (coton peint au pinceau) - Lot 34
Deux Birodo Yuzen (coton peint au pinceau) Japon, circa 1900 Velours de coton tisse? et peint manuellement au pinceau. Signature en bas a? droite de l’œuvre. Des usures mineures. Dim : 59 x 55 cm. et 58 x 54 cm. A 1900 pair of Birodo Yuzen, Japan Birodo yuzen, or yuzen birodo, describes velvet dyed and painted using the yuzen process where the pile is cut away in deep and light layers, creating a painterly effect of light and shade. The technique first appeared in the nineteenth century and was described in 1905 by Basil Hall Chamberlain. Although Chamberlain describes the technique under the heading of embroidery, birodo yuzen is not actually embroidered, but uses a cut-velvet technique to reproduce paintings and photographs. Although technically a form of velvet painting, birodo yuzen works are not like the Western and Middle-Eastern velvet paintings which use velvet as a canvas.
