Title: “Battle of Sclunotani Diptych” or “Evening Glow at Yashima” Yashima no sekishô, ???? Series: Selection for the Eight Views Mitate hakkei, ???? Medium: Original, Hand-Color Woodblock print from 1846, vintage and life-time impressions. Signature: Signed with the Artist’s chop. Description: Benkei looking through a telescope (left) and the fan on the pole at the Battle of Yashima. Part of Kuniyoshi’s famed Warrior dyptychs. Reference: Robinson – T179; see the Kuniyoshi Project on line for a complete catalogue raisonne. Additional photo used (shown last) courtesy of. Louise Ariëns Kappers and C. Van der Peet and the Kuniyoshi Project. 100% Japanese genuine & authentic original Ukiyo-e Color Woodblock. Print from 1846; good color and a fine impression. Provenance: Ronin Gallery; Hatay Stratton Fine Art, Northampton, Massachusettes. The son of silk dyer, Kuniyoshi Utagawa was born into the Igusa family in Edo. Little is known about his very early years, though he is said to have shown remarkable talent from a young age. Kuniyoshi began his ukiyo-e career as a pupil of Shunei. At age 14 he was accepted to study the art of woodblock printing under Toyokuni I and, in time, would become one of his most successful students. In 1814, he left Toyokuni’s studio to pursue a career as an independent Japanese ukiyo-e artist. However, his fortunes changed in 1827 with his dramatic series 108 Heroes of the Suikoden. From that point on, the public hungered for his portrayals of famous samurai and legendary heroes. Kuniyoshi worked in all genres, producing some brilliant landscapes and charming bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women). He died in the spring of 1861 from complications of a stroke. In direct contrast to the peaceful views of a scenic Japan provided by Hiroshige and Hokusai, the following decades saw a rise of the fierce, fearsome and fantastical in ukiyo-e. Kuniyoshi welcomed this changing public taste. He had a ravenous imagination and the full scope of his work reveals an aesthetic sensibility capable of assimilating almost any experience. No doubt, however, his particular genius felt most at home in the world of martial glory, where epic battles decided the fate of empires and fierce warriors clashed to the death. His imagery was so popular in his time that he received requests for tattoo designs. This item is in the category “Antiques\Asian Antiques\Japan\Prints”.

Sagami Jiro Taira Masakado taken by an arrow from Yoshitoshi’s Courageous Warriors c. Original circa 188 3 Japanese Woodblock Print by Yoshitoshi, guaranteed! A masterpiece of action and color, this image moves beyond the two-dimensional space. Unarguably the best design of the series. The daimyo Sagami Jiro Taira Masakado started a rebellion against the Fujiwara shogunate in 930 A. However, his rebellion was short-lived. He was eventually killed by an arrow launched by shoguns famed archer Fujiwara Hidesato. In this dynamic scene, Sagami JiroTaira Masakado riding his horse is trampling a samurai while unbeknownst to him an arrow is about to take his life. His horse literally jumps out of the page. The sense of frozen action is masterfully conveyed. The horse and fallen samurai are suspended in mid-air with broken pieces of sword flying in different directions. The fatal arrow pierces the scene across the series cartouche just inches away from striking! This print is from the very first printing of this series. Mica dust is applied to the black sky. Dark and fine gradation of color creates a moody and dark scene. Even the horses body exhibits attention to color range by delineating muscles. The Daimyos black jacket is burnished and shines. It measures 13 ¾ x 9 ½ inches. It is in great condition with very slight stains. It is slightly trimmed. The dark line extending upward at the bottom is part of printing process for this image.
