Size

Will it fit? Check these sizes against your wall

Measure the wall between whatever bounds it — window trim, a doorway, the corner. Sizes are judged hung (frame included) with 6 in of breathing room, two-thirds the width of the furniture under them, and the center at eye level (57–60 in). Guidance, not a guarantee: the true-size template is the final check.

Materials & finish

Printed on 400 gsm canvas with pigment inks. Stretched canvas and float frame canvas sit on a 1.5 in (38 mm) wooden stretcher; the classic frame holds the canvas on a slimmer 0.75 in (19 mm) stretcher. Rolled canvas ships in a sturdy tube.

The float frame stands 2.1 in (53 mm) off the wall, with a 0.5 in (12 mm) face and a 0.2 in (5 mm) gap around the canvas. The classic frame stands 0.9 in (22 mm) off the wall with a 0.8 in (20 mm) face.

Hanging hardware is not included. Two picture hooks (or screws) rated for the weight, set level, are all it needs; the free true-size wall template marks the spot.

The story of this print

Glittering Sea is part of a set of views of the Seto Inland Sea by Yoshida Hiroshi (1876–1950), a painter trained in Western-style oil and watercolor who later turned to woodblock prints. The picture is mostly water. Two broad wooden sailboats sit low in the foreground with their brown sails up, and a long column of sunlight runs from the horizon straight down toward them. Far away, a row of tiny sails dots the line where sea meets sky.

The light is built from thousands of small flat marks. Near the top the water is pale and rosy, with scattered flecks of mint green; lower down it deepens to steel blue and then near-navy, where the boats throw long dark reflections. The sails are a soft plum-brown with thin black outlines, and the decks are warm salmon. Small figures can be seen working on board, and the scan shows the even grain of the paper through the color.

This impression comes from the period of the design, following the Library’s dating of 1926. It has the quiet of a coastal photograph and works well as a large canvas above a sofa or a bed. For Japanese wall art in a living room, bedroom or office, it sits easily with blues, sand and driftwood tones, and with other sea and harbor scenes.

What we did to this scan

  1. Cropped by hand to the edge of the printed sheet.
  2. Balanced the levels and took out the scanner’s color cast, keeping 65% of the paper’s age tone.
  3. Cleaned dust and specks picked up by the scanner.
  4. A light sharpen, so fine lines and lettering hold at large sizes.

About this particular sheet. The scan is of an impression from the period of the design, following the Library of Congress's dating of 1926. The image is cropped to the printed picture, with the paper margins removed.

Every print is credited to its archive here and in your order confirmation. Paper tone and small imperfections of the original are kept on purpose; nothing is redrawn. How we restore.

Questions

What does the print show?
Two wooden sailboats under full brown sails on a calm sea, with a path of light from a low sun stretching toward them across the water. A line of small sails sits on the far horizon under a soft pink and gray sky.
Is this an original woodblock print?
No. It is a new print made from the Library of Congress's scan of an impression of the woodblock print from the period of the design, which the Library dates to 1926. We never sell originals or antiques.
Where does the image come from?
The image comes from the Library of Congress scan. The print was published in 1926, so it is in the public domain in the United States, where works published before 1927 entered the public domain on January 1, 2022, and the Library lists no known restrictions on publishing it. The Library's record is linked on this page.
How is it made?
It is printed to order for you, in the finish you choose: a float frame canvas, a classic frame canvas, a stretched canvas, a rolled canvas or an acrylic panel. Both frames come in Black or Antique Gold. The size and finish picker shows which sizes each finish is made in.
Colors vary a little between screens and canvas. The previews are drawn, not photographed, and are a close match to the printed piece.
