Tairua by Rei Hamon

The item is a framed black and white art print, depicted in a highly detailed, intricate style that suggests a pen and ink drawing or an etching. The visible image is a dense natural scene, potentially a forest or tropical landscape, characterized by an abundance of foliage. Large leaves, possibly fern-like or broad-leafed plants, dominate the upper portion of the composition, creating a canopy effect. Beneath these, a waterfall or cascade of water is visible on the left side, rendered with fine lines to convey movement and texture. The terrain appears rugged with rocks and varied plant life, including highly textured, almost abstract organic forms on the left foreground and more delicate, fern-like structures on the right. The overall impression is one of lush, untamed wilderness. The print is housed in a simple, dark-colored frame, likely black or a dark brown, with a thin gold or light-colored accent line on its inner edge, bordering an off-white or cream-colored mat. The mat shows some slight discoloration or aging along its edges, which is typical for vintage prints. The paper itself appears to be of good quality, and the high contrast of the black ink against the lighter paper is well-preserved. There are no immediate signs of severe damage such as tears or prominent creases on the print itself, though the lighting makes assessing subtle imperfections difficult. The framing appears to be in good condition with minor surface wear visible on the frame itself. The print's intricate detail and the organic subject matter point to a strong illustrative quality and could be indicative of a print from the mid-to-late 20th century. While specific manufacturing details are not visible on the front, the style suggests a high degree of craftsmanship.
