We proudly present an extraordinary graphic, texture-rich, and decorative masterpiece for high-end interiors: an original Oriental woodblock print, depicting two mythological five-clawed Imperial Dragons. This characterful artwork dates from the 20th century (approx. 1960-1980).

Imperial Iconography & Premium See-Through Presentation
This hand-printed artwork stands out for its refined details and instantly brings a warm, serene oriental atmosphere as exclusive wall art to any modern, brutalist, or Wabi-Sabi-inspired interior:
- The Five-Clawed Realm Dragons: The circular composition is dominated by two powerful, intertwined dragons hunting the flaming pearl amidst seas of clouds and fire. The possession of five claws was historically exclusively reserved for the imperial courts and the highest Buddhist monasteries.
- Handmade Lokta & Mulberry Paper: The print is hand-printed with traditional soot ink on a golden-brown base of fiber-rich, pre-industrial handmade paper. The raw, hairy frayed edges are floating mounted on a dark backing plate of torn mulberry paper.
- Exclusive See-Through Frame: The back reveals a high-quality and professional see-through glass framing. The handmade paper is positioned floating between the glass plates by means of a mechanical clamping and sliding system, ensuring that the raw fiber biology remains fully visible on the back.
