Vintage Japanese Woodblock Print by Toshusai Sharaku Kabuki Actors c. 1794/1950s

Vintage Japanese Woodblock Print by Toshusai Sharaku Kabuki Actors c. Presented is a beautiful Japanese full oban-size woodblock print created by the renowned artist of the Edo period, Toshusai Sharaku fl. Bando Zenji as Onisadobo, a Namazu-bozu, or priest who looks like a catfish, and Sawamura Yodogoro II as Kawatsura Hogen, in the episode called “Yoshitsune senbon-zakura, ” which was played as the finale. The print was made using the traditional Japanese woodblock technique. It is signed with his full name (“Toshusai ga”, or painted by Toshusai). There is also Kyoto hanga-in Shinagawa-ban (Kyoto Print Institute Shinagawa Edition) publisher’s seal and a carver’s seal on the print verso. There is very little known about Sharaku – his identity is a mystery. Some say he was a Kabuki actor himself who became an artist in woodblock printing, creating portraits of his fellow artists. But this is just a speculation; in fact, nobody knows his real name and the dates of his birth or death. He was active for 10 months of 1794 – 1795, and then he mysteriously disappeared from the printing world. He created just about 150 prints and sketches (for example, Kunisada created about 20,000), and they are all highly recognizable, showing lots of character and humor. The Sharaku prints by the publisher Kyoto Hanga-In are the most authentic later edition prints of the original works, even surpassing those of the renowned publisher Takamizawa. The dark, thick mica background is not overly “glossy” like other editions, and the simulation of cracked mica by heavy embossing is very realistic. AUTHOR: Toshusai Sharaku TITLE: “Kabuki actors Bando Zenji and Sawamura Yodogoro”? CREATED: c. Paper METHOD OF PRINTING: Woodblock printing PRINTED: c. Mid-1900 PUBLISHER: Kyoto hanga-in Shinagawa-ban (Kyoto Print Institute Shinagawa Edition) OVERALL FRAME SIZE: 19.25″ by 13.25″ PRINT SIZE: Oban 15.25″ X 10″ incl. The condition is excellent.

HYUGA Province Utagawa Hiroshige Japanese Woodblock Framed Art Print 18×15 VTG

HYUGA Province Utagawa Hiroshige Japanese Woodblock Framed Art Print 18×15. PROVINCE DE HYUGA, LE PORT D’ABURATSU OBI OSHIMA. It is a very beautiful re-print of the original. This is one in a series of 69 prints. As of this listing, I have 35 of them, all professionally framed in a brushed silver toned frame and matted in black They all came from the same Estate in Louisville, KY. All are in excellent condition and any one or all of them would add greatly to your Asian art collection. The last 5 pictures are from one of these that had a damaged back. I deconstructed it so you could see all the layers and materials involved. The image is a woodblock print titled “Hyuga Province: Aburatsu Port, Obi Oshima” by Utagawa Hiroshige, part of the series “Famous Views of the Sixty-odd Provinces”. Created between 1853 and 1856. Depicts Aburatsu Port in Hyuga Province (now Miyazaki Prefecture). Shows a coastal scene with boats, rocky islands, and a village. The text on the print includes the series title, province name, and location. It is a nishiki-e (full-color print) in aiban format. Hiroshige produced 70 prints for this series, including one for each province, Edo (Tokyo), and a table of contents. Born in Edo as Tokutaro Ando, Hiroshige Utagawa grew up in a minor samurai family. His father belonged to the firefighting force assigned to Edo Castle. It is here that Hiroshige was given his first exposure to art: legend has it that a fellow fireman tutored him in the Kano school of painting, though Hiroshige’s first official teacher was Rinsai. Though Hiroshige tried to join Toyokuni Utagawa’s studio, he was turned away. In 1811, young Hiroshige entered an apprenticeship with the celebrated Toyohiro Utagawa. After only a year, he was bestowed with the artist name Hiroshige. He soon gave up his role in the fire department to focus entirely on painting and print design. During this time he studied painting, intrigued by the Shijo school. Hiroshige’s artistic genius went largely unnoticed until 1832. With the Tokugawa Shogunate relaxing centuries of age-old restrictions on travel, urban populations embraced travel art and Hiroshige Utagawa became one of the most prominent and successful ukiyo-e artists. He also produced kacho-e (bird-and-flower pictures) to enormous success. In 1858, at the age of 61, he passed away as a result of the Edo cholera epidemic. Hiroshige Utagawa’s woodblock prints continue to convey the beauty of Japan and provide insight into the everyday life of its citizens during the Edo period. The appeal of his tender, lyrical landscapes was not restricted to the Japanese audience. Hiroshige’s work had a profound influence on the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists of Europe: Toulouse-Lautrec was fascinated with Hiroshige’s daring diagonal compositions and inventive use of perspective, while Van Gogh literally copied two of Hiroshige’s prints from the famous series, 100 Famous Views of Edo in oil paint.

Antique Japanese Framed Woodblock Print Woman Reading by Suzuki Harunobu c. 1900

Antique Japanese Framed Woodblock Print Woman Reading a Book by Suzuki Harunobu c. Presented is a beautiful Japanese full oban-size woodblock print created by the renowned artist of the Edo period, Suzuki Harunobu c. 1770 and reprinted in the early 1900s. The print depicts two women – most likely a lady of the house and her maid – in a typical Japanese room interior with a large lacquer cabinet. One woman is reading a book, and the other one is looking over her shoulder while doing some housework. You can see the details of the interior with the cabinet. Floor, boxes with some household stuff. Tobacco pipe with smoking accessories, etc. A lively, beautiful scene of everyday women’s life in 18th-century Japan. Harunobu Suzuki was an exceptional ukiyo-e artist during the classical Edo period, though few details about his life are known. He was born around 1724 or 1725, possibly in Kyoto or Edo (modern-day Tokyo), and spent most of his life in Edo. His works, often accompanied by poetic verses, hint at a cultured and possibly bourgeois upbringing, suggesting he moved within intellectual and poetic circles. Suzuki Harunobu’s artistic contributions include drawings, paintings, and over 700 color prints. He also illustrated nearly two dozen books. Like many ukiyo-e artists, he created numerous erotic prints known as shunga (springtime pictures). His evolution in multi-color printing is evident in his works. Early prints, dated before 1765, typically featured two or three colors, mainly green and red. From 1766 onwards, his prints displayed up to ten distinct colors, showcasing his advanced techniques. He is considered the first artist to expand ukiyo-e into full color printings. , which was revolutionary at the time. The print was made using the traditional Japanese woodblock technique. It is hard to tell, but I think it is an early 1900s reprint. Harunobu was an artist cherished in Japan, and his works were reprinted even before Europeans became interested in ukiyo-e. The print is signed “Harunobu ga” (painted by Harunobu). There is no publisher seal, but the same print from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts from the 1760s shows the same signature with no publisher seal or other inscriptions. My last picture shows the print from MFA – it’s just an example. AUTHOR: Suzuki Harunobu TITLE: “Two Women by a Laquer Cabinet” CREATED: c. Paper METHOD OF PRINTING: Woodblock printing PRINTED: c.

Bungo Province corresponds to present-day Oita Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, Japan.
