    Est: €250 - €500

    TOYOHARA CHIKANOBU: KANNON RESCUING PRINCESS SHIRAGIKU By Toyohara Chikanobu (1838 - 1912), signed yoshu Chikanobu hitsu Japan, 1886 Color woodblock print on paper. Vertical oban. Signed yoshu Chikanobu hitsu; publisher: Kobayashi Tetsujiro. Titled Kannon Rescuing Princess Shiragiku, number fifteen from the series Azuma Nishiki Chuya Kurabe (Eastern Brocades - Day and Night Compared). The beautiful daughter of a government official, Princess Shiragiku was kidnapped by a rebel who had fallen in love with her. After praying to Kannon, the Goddess of Mercy, she was able to escape to a lotus pond, where she was rescued. She is shown here resting on a bank of the pond, still bound with rope, her wet black hair streaming down her back. Rays of light radiate from her, indicating divine assistance from Kannon. Lovely pink and white lotus blossoms and deep green lily pads surround her protectively, the flowers delicately embossed. The inset above shows the princess reunited with her sweetheart, Uesugi Kagesada. SIZE of the sheet 34.2 x 24.8 cm Condition: Good condition with some wear and slightly trimmed margin. The colors slightly faded, centerfold with short associated tears, and tiny tears along the edges. Chikanobu was a leading artist of the Meiji period, a time when Japan saw the reinstatement of the emperor as ruler and was undergoing rapid westernization. He was one of the most prolific woodblock print artists of this period, working with both traditional subjects, such as actors, courtesans, scenes of famous sites, beautiful women, and with topical subjects, such as the Satsuma Rebellion (1877) and the Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895).
