Yura-yura: Celestial Maiden Canvas Afdruk

This exquisite canvas art captures the ethereal beauty of “Yura-yura,” a Japanese Nihonga masterpiece that portrays a celestial maiden (Tennyo) gently playing the konghou, an ancient harp. Her flowing robes ripple like water, blending seamlessly with the surrounding waves in a graceful dance of sound and serenity. Originally painted on traditional Washi paper using vibrant mineral pigments (Iwa-enogu), the artwork’s delicate lines and vivid colors are faithfully reproduced on canvas, bringing depth and elegance to any space. A celebration of traditional Japanese artistry and mythical grace, this piece invites quiet reflection and offers a moment of peace through the perfect harmony of music, water, and form.
