Freight piece: please confirm delivery before purchase
This piece travels in a crate or by freight rather than standard mail, and may need careful dismantling before it can be packed. The shipping shown at checkout is an estimate. Japonista reserves the right to determine the final handling, crating and freight cost when your order is received, according to the piece, the destination and carrier conditions at that time.

Frog on Girl, a silkscreen poster described as designed by Ushio Shinohara around 1969. It is offered as signed in pencil and numbered 12/100, from the Neo-Dada generation of Tokyo.
The Piece
A green frog sprawls across a red figure, seen from above and upside down, so that a pale face with bared teeth sits at the foot of the sheet. Gold panels of insects and reeds flank the body, and black and yellow bands close the top. The colour is laid flat and dense inside a wide white margin.
A pencil inscription reading 12/100 sits at the lower left of the image and a pencil signature at the lower right. The description notes that a related illustration, slightly different in design, appears in a 1969 book by Keiichi Tanaami.
