The success of Kazumasa

Ogawa Kazumasa was a Japanese artist who was born in Japan in the year of 1860 and died in 1929. Already at the young age of 15, he began studying English and photography, and moved to Tokyo five years later to expand his English vocabulary. A year later, Kazumasa was hired as an interpreter at a Japanese police station while in his spare time learning about photography by Shimooka Renjo, who was one of the first professional photographers in Japan. In 1882 he moved to the American city of Boston, where he took a course in portrait photography. Two years later, in 1884, he returned to Japan with a lot of new and useful knowledge. That made Kazumasa feel ready to open a photography gallery in Iidabashi – the first photography gallery in Tokyo. After that, Kazumasa only had success, and opened several companies, each with their own form of photography focus.

Perfect for the girly room or the confirmand

Here at Permild & Rosengreen you can find some of the great posters with motif of Kazumasa’s photographs. Among other things you can find the fine OGAWA KAZUMASA – GEISHA, which is a very fine and detailed Japanese poster. The poster is called “Geisha” and describes the motif of the poster, which is a beautiful Japanese geisha. The poster is painted in beautiful, warm shades that are broken by the geisha’s belt, which is in a strong, red colour. Due to its colour nuances and beautiful motif, the poster is ideal for the ultimate girl’s room, or maybe as a present for the confirmand?

Complete the look

Complete the beautiful and lively look of the poster with a beautiful wooden frame. Here, at Permild & Rosengreen you will find several different frames, each of which will make its own unique mark on the expression of the poster. If you choose a natural oak frame, you can highlight the soul of any given poster. If you, on the other hand, choose a slightly darker poster, such as black wood or dark oak, this creates a nice contrast to, for example, light posters, which is why the poster is added a little extra edge and attitude.
