Japanese Woodblock Print

Crying Cranes Kano Tanyu Taisho Era Woodblock Print Ming Dynasty Bunsei 1924

Part of a monthly subscription series of three woodblock prints issued by the Yamato Hanga Kanko-kai in 1924. “Crying Cranes” diptych (an Important Cultural Property) by Chinese Ming Dynasty painter Bunsei, which is housed at Sokoku-ji Temple. While largely faithful to the original, Tanyu’s unique style is evident in several places. Despite being a copy, it is considered a masterpiece of Kano Tanyu’s ink-and-color painting on silk depicting flowers and birds. Note: this print was made back in the era when Japan’s industries were opening up to Western ideas and influences and used what would these days be called a’mixed media’ approach in its creation. Some parts of the image were put onto the paper with the collotype printing technique, based on photography from the original design. This part of the process would include registration marks, and once the collotype was printed, the paper would be trimmed to those marks, and other areas of the design then printed by hand from woodblocks in the traditional manner. Measures 11.61 in by 6.10 in and the frame measures 14 in x 11 in. The print has slight foxing and toning. The frame is original and the glass has been replaced and changed to tempered glass to ensure its protection. We are dedicated to providing excellent customer service.

Antique Utagawa Kuniyoshi Ide Jewel River Woman Woodblock Print Framed VG 18×14

Antique Utagawa Kuniyoshi Ide Jewel River Woman Woodblock Print Framed VG 18x14

This image is identifiable as a single sheet from “Yamashiro no kuni Ide no Tamagawa” / “The Ide Jewel River in Yamashiro Province, ” from an untitled triptych series of the Six Jewel Rivers. The design is a wonderful example of Kuniyoshi’s bijin and landscape work, combining a graceful female figure, flowering branches, patterned kimono, flowing blue water, and fine Edo-period textile detail. Kuniyoshi is one of the major ukiyo-e printmakers of the 19th century, best known for warrior prints, actor subjects, beautiful women, landscapes, humor, and highly inventive compositions. Here, the appeal is quieter and more lyrical: the woman’s pose, the blossoms, and the moving water create a refined seasonal scene with strong decorative presence. This is one sheet from the original triptych composition, not the complete three-sheet triptych. Presented in a black metal frame with matting. Measurements: Frame: 13.5″ x 18.25″ x 1.0″ Image: 9.0″ x 13.0.

Antique Japanese Woodblock Print by Chikanobu -Parody of Zodiac- Framed c. 1893

Antique Japanese Woodblock Print by Chikanobu Parody of the Twelve Zodiac Animals (Sheep) c. Born in 1838 in Niigata Prefecture, Toyohara Chikanobu was the elder of two sons. His father was a samurai, a retainer of the Sakakibara clan. He studied Kano school painting as a child and developed an interest in ukiyo-e in his teens. He studied with Kuniyoshi and then with Kunisada and Kunichika. During the Meiji Restoration, he joined the Tokugawa shogun’s elite samurai brigade, the shogitai, and fought against the emperor’s forces in the Battle of Ueno and the Battle of Hakodate. After the fall of the shogun, he went to Tokyo and started to make a living as a woodblock print artist. The print presented was published in 1893 – 1894 as part of the series “Parody of the Twelve Zodiac Animals”. This series consisted of 12 prints, one for each of the animals of the Chinese zodiac. Adopted by both Japan and Korea, the Chinese zodiac is composed of these animals: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. Each of the prints in this series depicts festivals and temples most closely associated with each of the various animals, with women and children taking part in seasonal activities in the foreground, with a landscape inset above. Even though the print is called “The Sheep, ” you can hardly see the animal – it is seen in the very background behind a fence in the Ueno Zoo. This is a famous Zoo in Tokyo that is still extremely popular. You can see a group of visitors – a woman with a friend (or attendant) and a little girl. The focus is on the group and their ornate and beautiful garments – kimonos and kimono coats. The girl is wearing “hifu” – a kimono overcoat that is not tied by obi. Even nowadays, some people visiting the Ueno Park with its museums and the Zoo often wear traditional Japanese clothing. We can also see that a man in the background is wearing European-style clothes. Chikanobu is famous of bringing the views and details of the everyday life of Japanese people during the Meiji Restoration. Many museums in the world have Chikanobu works: British Museum Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY Museum of Fine Arts in Boston Tokyo National Museum Museum of Fine Arts in Houston Honolulu Museum of Art and many others The print was made using the Japanese woodblock technique during Chikanobu’s lifetime. Signed by the author and sealed with the publisher’s seal. It is framed with a modern wooden frame.
