Until that time his painting had been historical in subject and theme … Otsuka's compositions have evolved to a decorative elegance, achieving an important transition: a cross-cultural excellence that not only appeals to East and West artistically, but also brings them together in understanding."This gorgeous print is being offered here for an opening bid that is far below the current on-line retail gallery price.Click on the link below to view our other Hisashi Otsuka auctions.SPECIAL NOTE: This item must be shipped flat.For International shipping please request a SHIPPING QUOTEShipping and handling for this item is $42.00 plus additional insurance cost.
