    Est: $300 - $500

    Rare Original Japanese Woodblock Print by Utagawa Yoshiiku (Japanese, 1833–1904), SUMMER PARTY AT RYOGOKU, FIREWORKS | Matted & Framed under glass. Artist: Yoshiiku Utagawa (1833-1903) Title: Summer Party at Ryogoku (Bridge), Tokyo [Tokyo Ryogoku Kawabiraki no Zu] Publisher: Yorozuya Magobei Date: 19th century (Meiji) Approx. Size: Framed: 21" H x 16.25" W; Sight: 14" H x 9.5" W. The construction of the Ryogoku Bridge in 1659 helped to shape the city of Edo and later Tokyo. The name of the bridge translates as 'two countries' and referred to the joining of Musashi and Shimosa Province which were prior separated by the Sumida River. It is often said that Edo was a city of rivers and canals, with travelling by boat a common mode of transport for most classes. Ryogoku Bridge was also a popular spot for fireworks and entertainment in the summer. Crowds would gather on the river shore or on pleasure boats to relax and cool off in the evening after a hot and humid summer day. UTAGAWA YOSHIIKU, Also known as Ikkeisai Yoshiiku, Ochiai Yoshiiku, Ikujirô, Chôkarô, Ikkeisai, Keiami, Keisai, Sairakusai, Yoshiiku, Yoshiiku Utagawa. Born the son of teahouse proprietor Asakusa Tamichi in 1833, Yoshiiku became a student of ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi toward the end of the 1840s. His earliest known work dates to 1852 when he provided the backgrounds to some actor prints by his master. Yoshiiku's earliest works were portraits of actors, beauties, and warriors. He later followed Kuniyoshi into making satirical and humorous pieces, and became the leading name in the field after Kuniyosh's death in 1861.

Es entstand im späten vierzehnten Jahrhundert und berichtet von einer Reihe von Kriegen zwischen dem nördlichen Hofe von Ashikaga Takauji in Kyoto und dem südlichen Hof von Kaiser Go-Daigo in Yoshino. Mehrere japanische Künstler haben sich dieses Themas angenommen, u. a. Utagawa Kuniyoshi, der die wohl wichtigste Folge von Ukiyo-e Holzschnitten um 1848-1849 von Yamamotoya Heikichi verlegen ließ. -- Aber auch Utagawa Yoshiiku nahm sich dem Epos an und schuf unvergleichliche Werke (1833-1904), die hier in einer Ausgabe von 22 Bildern auf semintransparentem Japanpapier vorliegen. Sie zeigen neben Kampfbilder und Samurais auch friedlicher Szenen wie das Kopieren des Epos’ von einer jungen Japanerin, der ihr Sohn aushilft. – Wohlerhalten, frisch.

    Est: €180 - €250

    Yoshiiku, Utagawa. Taiheiki Eiyuden (Die Heldenbiographien des Taiheiki Eiyuden). 3 Blätter der Serie. Ukiyo-e Farbholzschnitte. Signiert "Ikkeisai Yoshiiku hitsu". Format kôban (24,5 x 18 cm). Edo (Tokio, Hiroko) um 1867. -- Utagawa Yoshiiku (1833-1904) war ein Schüler des großen Kuniyoshi und lebenslanger Rivale von Yoshitoshi, einem seiner Kommilitonen. Nach dem Tod von Kuniyoshi war Yoshiiku mindestens ein Jahrzehnt lang der bedeutendste seiner Schüler, bis andere, insbesondere Yoshitoshi, ihn überstrahlten. Wie so oft neigten die Schüler großer Künstler zur Nachahmung, und Yoshiiku bildet da keine Ausnahme. In seiner Serie der "Heldenbiographien des Taiheiki Eiyuden" von fünfzig Drucken ist der Stil von Kuniyoshi am deutlichsten, nicht nur in der Zeichnung und den Gesten der einzelnen Krieger, sondern auch in den spezifischen Details von Charakter und Ereignis. Kuniyoshi hatte 1849 eine nahezu identische Serie zu diesem Thema produziert. -- Die Serie ist fast die letzte, die im unverwechselbaren Musha-e Stil der Utagawa-Schule produziert wurde. Mit Musha-e werden die Kriegsbilder, Kampfbilder und Kämpferbilder bezeichnet, oftmals martialische Szenen mit gruseligen Details, wie hier z. B. der mit Totenschädeln gezierte Stab des Samurai-Kriegers. – Wie üblich etwas ungenauer, wenig kraftvoller Druck der schwarzen Konturplatte, sonst aber in leichtenden Farben. Hin und wieder nur leichte Gebrauchsspuren.

    La chronique de la grande paix. Taiheiki Shūi 太平記拾遺. Un volume Livre illustré de dessins gravés sur bois en noir et en couleurs. Le Taiheiki est une œuvre littéraire de l’époque Nanbokuchō (XIVe siècle) attribuée au moine Kojima (小島法師) qui raconte les intrigues et les luttes politiques qui, entre 1318 et 1367, ont divisé le Japon pour la succession à l'empire. Dans le titre de la série présentée ici, en japonais "Taiheiki Shūi", le mot "Taiheiki" a été utilisé afin d'éviter la censure du gouvernement en simulant une référence à des faits d'un passé lointain mais, au contraire, ont été décrits les protagonistes des guerres civiles du XVIe siècle.

    Japanese Edo Period Ukiyo-e Woodblock Artworks (2)

    Est: $600 - $900

    **This is an oversized piece that may require special shipping. Please inquire for a quote prior to bidding. Utagawa Toyosai (Japanese, 1848-1920) and Utagawa Yoshiiku (Japanese, 1833-1904). A pair of Japanese Edo period ukiyo-e woodblock artworks - including a framed triptych depicting three Kabuki actors by Utagawa Toyosai and a framed singular woodblock of a Kabuki actor by Utagawa Yoshiiku (also known as Ochiai Yochiiku). Kabuki is a popular genre of Japanese musical theatre that has traditionally featured actors wearing elaborate costumes and make-up, engaged in dramatic acting, singing, and dancing. All roles - both male and female - have traditionally been played by male actors. Both artworks are is set in custom frames under glass. In addition to ukiyo-e prints like these, Japanese artists used the woodblock printing process for newspaper illustrations prior to the introduction of photography. Size of each in triptych: 13.75" L x 9.25" W (34.9 cm x 23.5 cm) Size of frame for triptych: 17.125" L x 35.75" W (43.5 cm x 90.8 cm) Woodblock prints were used in Japan as early as the 8th century to illustrate texts. By the 18th century, Japanese wood block techniques evolved and the first polychrome prints or nishiki-e were commissioned for wealthy patrons of the Edo period. This period is known for marvelous woodblock prints of female beauties, kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, and courtesans of the infamous pleasure districts. In time the repertoire expanded to include romantic landscapes, flora and fauna, and dramatic historical events. Each of the examples featured in this lot presents the characteristic birds-eye view, penchant for strong line, and appreciation for brilliant, saturated hues that are hallmarks of this fine Japanese artform. Works such as these played a major role in the West's perception of Japanese visual culture during the late 19th century when Japonism exerted a powerful influence on French Impressionists such as Degas, Manet, and Monet, Post-Impressionists including Van Gogh, even pioneering Art Nouveau artists such as Toulouse-Lautrec. According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art Department of Asian Art curatorial experts, "A woodblock print image is first designed by the artist on paper and then transferred to a thin, partly transparent paper. Following the lines on the paper, now pasted to a wooden block usually of cherry wood, the carver chisels and cuts to create the original in negative—with the lines and areas to be colored raised in relief. Ink is applied to the surface of the woodblock. Rubbing a round pad over the back of a piece of paper laid over the top of the inked board makes a print. Polychrome prints were made using a separate carved block for each color, which could number up to twenty. To print with precision using numerous blocks on a single paper sheet, a system of placing two cuts on the edge of each block to serve as alignment guides was employed. Paper made from the inner bark of mulberry trees was favored, as it was strong enough to withstand numerous rubbings on the various woodblocks and sufficiently absorbent to take up the ink and pigments. Reproductions, sometimes numbering in the thousands, could be made until the carvings on the woodblocks became worn."
