Kyoto Prefecture Woodblock Print Ukiyo-e Utamaro Bijinga, Takashima Ohisa
In terms of ukiyo-e artists Utamaro is ranked alongside Katsushika Hokusai. This internationally acclaimed artist has collections of his works in many major museums around the world, such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
His work is characterized by delicate and beautiful curves. He spent his time painting lots of women, such as prostitutes, courtesans as well as the tea house girls.
On the left side of the painting, there is a kyoka poem which describes Ohisa's character. It reads: “Charms and tea are brimming over, and neither gets cold! Let me not wake, from this lucky dream of the New Year at Takashimaya”.
Utamaro dressed Ohisa in a black costume and impressively represents her beauty. The loose neck line also makes her exude a sultriness.
In the background, to complement the gloss of Ohisa, mica silver pigment is used, creating a piece that sparkles and comes to life.
The woodblock is made of durable cherry tree and the paper is made of the living national treasure, handmade Japanese washi paper.
Kyoto Prefecture Woodblock Print Ukiyo-e Thirty-Six Views Of Mt. Fuji, The Great Wave Off Kanagawa
Katsushika Hokusai's masterpiece “Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji” was drawn based on the theme of views of Mount Fuji from different locations. As the name suggest, 36 major works were originally intended, but as they gained popularity a further 10 were added for a total of 46. The most renowned of these is “The Great Wave Off Kanagawa”, praised by artists such as Van Gogh and Debussy, and a great influence on Western artists.
Around swirling eddies and a breaking wild wave, Mount Fuji stands unperturbed in the distance. It's a dynamic composition characterized by a landscape that is both active and static along with the incorporation of the perspective of Western-style painting. In the blue of the waves, as well as traditional indigo, the synthetic pigment Prussian blue, which had recently started to be imported at that time, is also used.
Hokusai was 72 years old the time “Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji” was brought out. A Japanese historical masterpiece from an artist who even in old age still had an insatiable desire for creation. The woodblock is made of durable cherry tree and the paper is made of the living national treasure, handmade Japanese washi paper.
