Add a touch of Hollywood Regency or Mid-Century Asian flair to your walls with this striking, vintage 3D relief plaque. This piece beautifully replicates a scene from Kitagawa Utamaro’s famous 1796 woodblock print, "Parody of an Imperial Carriage Scene."
Instead of a flat paper print, this is a distinct three-dimensional molded composite panel featuring thick raised black borders and hand-painted/enamel-style color fields that give it a stylized, faux-lacquer appearance popular in 1970s home decor.
Features & Details:
• The Artwork: Depicts elegant women and a traditional court carriage under blooming cherry/plum blossoms. Features a decorative "OK" maker's stamp next to the printed Utamaro signature clone.
• The Frame: Housed in its original wooden faux-bamboo frame with a black textured fabric mat liner and a classic gold lip.
• Markings: The back of the frame is stamped with the standard size "16 x 20" and a faint "Hecho en Mexico" stamp, dating it right to the peak of the 1970s import decor boom.
Measurements:
• Total Outer Frame Size: Approx. 23.5" Height x 20.25" Width
• Inner Artwork Panel: Standard 16" x 20"

This piece is being sold As-Is. The main artwork panel is in excellent shape with strong, bright coloration. The vintage wood frame has a wonderful patina but does show some light surface scuffs and minor separation at the mitered corner joints due to age (clearly pictured in the close-up photos). It is structurally solid and ready to hang using the attached D-ring hanger.
