Masterpiece of Ito Shinsui’s Hanging Scroll. This stunning woodblock print, titled. Is a masterpiece by the celebrated Japanese artist Ito Shinsui, known for his iconic. This exceptional work is a collaboration with two master artisans, both designated as “Preservers of Important Folk Cultural Properties” : Horishi (carver) Okura Hanbei and Surishi (printer) Nakajo Kineo. Their skillful craftsmanship is acknowledged by their signatures on the inside lid of the box (please note, the signature on the front is not Shinsui’s). The print showcases exquisite gradations of color and subtle shading, both challenging feats in traditional woodblock printing. Though printed on thick, high-quality washi paper typically used for hanging scrolls, this work does not have the common embossed texture found in thinner prints. However, you can feel the fine indents of the lines and color blocks by gently touching the surface. The reverse of the print shows some minor staining due to age, but overall the piece remains in excellent condition. Scroll Size: Approximately 51.6″ x 25.4″ (131.2cm x 64.5cm). Print Size: Approximately 15.1″ x 17.9″ (38.3cm x 45.5cm). Please note that due to the age and previous display of this item, there may be some wear, including slight soiling and creases. Kindly examine the photos closely for details. This work is a true collector’s piece, offering both artistic beauty and historical significance.

Artist Name ITO Shinsui. Dimensions Overall size: H49.0cm x W37.9cm. Print size: H45.4cm x W35.4cm. Remarks Watanabe seal 6mm. This is a work by Ito Shinsui, who was said to be the “last beauty painter” in the traditional Ukiyoe tradition of the Utagawa school. Shinsui also painted a work called “Spring Evening” with a composition almost identical to this “Whispering”. He also painted it many times with different hair ornaments and kimono patterns, and it seems to be the composition that he preferred. The scene in which the two women are whispering to each other, not only in a cute but also in a slightly mischievous manner, has the glamorous quality that is typical of Shinsui. The carefully rendered details of the ornamental hairpins and kimono patterns are a highlight of the work, but the emotions that can be drawn from their gazes at each other are also interesting. The background of the painting is decorated with a technique called “mica-zuri” (mica print). This is a technique familiar from the ukiyo-e paintings of Utamaro Kitagawa and Sharaku Toshusai, in which glittering mica or seashell powder is used. The result is a beautiful pearl-like luster on the surface of the finished paper, giving it a luxurious finish. Born in Tokyo, Japan.
