Three boldly patterned horses stand closely together, their elaborate saddles and harnesses set against the vivid yellow momigami paper. Watanabe’s geometric design recalls traditional textile motifs, while the two birds add a lovely decorative touch. A fun & smaller edition print which highlights Sadao Watanabe’s distinctive fusion of folk art and stencil traditions.
