One of five postcards in the ASOBIDEA CARD “Mosaic Art” series: Otani Oniji III

This is one of five postcards in the ASOBIDEA CARD “Mosaic Art” series (http://asobidea.co.jp/). Each postcard shows a well-known painting in mosaic form. When held at normal reading distance the mosaic pattern makes no sense at all. However, when viewed from a distance it is possible to see an image of the well-known painting. Unless you are already familiar with the painting, it is hard for your eye and brain to make sense of the blurred image.

This card is ASOBIDEA CARD 0013. Mosaic art – Sharaku, Miwa Miwa, 2015. The image is Toshusai Sharaku’s Otani Oniji III in the Role of the Servant Edobei. Printed in Japan.
