About This Design
Vintage Japanese Sea Monster 海坊主, 国芳 Cushion
The Sea Monk (Umibozu) is a sea monster with a smooth round head, like the shaven head of a Buddhist monk. This print illustrates the story of the sailor Kawanaya Tokuzo, who decides to go to sea on the last day of the year, which other sailors consider unlucky. A violent storm breaks out, and the Umi Bozu appears. In a ghastly voice the apparition demands, ""Name the most horrible thing you know!"" Tokuzo yells back, ""My profession is the most horrible thing I know!"" The monster is apparently satisfied with this answer and disappears along with the storm. Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798-1861) was one of the last great masters of the Japanese ukiyo-e style of woodblock prints and painting. He is associated with the Utagawa school. Issued around 1845.

I absolutely love this product. I turned out even better than I expected too. I bought this for my mother for Mother's Day and she really loves it, she shows it too everyone she can and they all love it as well and want to know where I bought it from. The design turned out perfect, the printing of the words is fantastic they were so clear and easy to read, the color was also nicer than I thought it would be plus the images are so clear to see. I myself can't seem to keep looking at it, it's just gorgeous I love it, it couldn't have turned out any better
