Japanese Acrobat and Circus Prints as Wall Décor

December 23rd, 2008 by jan

Japanese Acrobats are just an incredible use of color and design.
One of the reasons I personally love this series, is because it takes Japanese art in a totally different direction than we normally think of.
It’s not just the Geisha’s and fan pedals. It’s full of motion and color, it’s all these images crowded onto the page but in a really pleasing way. It almost looks like a tapestry.
One of my favorite things is the use of line. The Japanese have an incredible us of line and expression when they create these water colors.
In the way that the people are moving through the picture really indicates the flexibility.

Looking at this print you can see these acrobats flying to the air and doing flips, it makes you want to engage with these group of people. I love the fact that you can see colorful outfits and really get a feeling of what it’s like to be in an Oriental Three Ring Circle.

We sell this set of three prints really affordable -$19.97- in our store. Here is the link to go and look at it if you are interested! Japanese Circus Prints
