OKUMURA MASANOBU (1686-1764): 'SHOKI'
Est: €700 - €1,400
OKUMURA MASANOBU (1686-1764): 'SHOKI' Japan, 18th century. Woodcut, hand applied with urushi (lacquer) and washes of ink on paper. Mounted on paper. Depicting the demon queller Shoki standing in an animated pose apoplectic with rage with a grimace on his face. Inscriptions: To the left margin, signed 'Hogetsudo, Okumura Bunkaku Masanobu kinzu' 芳月堂、奥村文角政信謹圖 ('This is painted with respect by Okumura Bunkaku Masanobu, the studio name Hogetsudo'). One seal, 'Tanchosai' 丹鳥斎. Image SIZE 63 x 24.6 cm, SIZE incl. mounting 70.5 x 30.3 cm Condition: Shows tears, some wormholes, minor staining, browning, and few losses but still presenting well. Provenance: Van Stockum Gallery, The Hague. Collection of Robert and Isabelle de Strycker, acquired from the above and thence by descent within the same family. Robert de Strycker (1903-1968) was a French engineer who specialized in metallurgy. He was a Stanford graduate, a professor at the University of Leuven, a director of the Institute of Metallurgy at the Universite Catholique de Louvain, and one of the most influential members of the faculty of applied sciences. After World War II, he made large contributions to France's post-war recovery. Robert and his wife Isabelle (1915-2010) first encountered Chinese art at the British Museum during a stay in London in the 1930s. Enamored with the style and beauty, they both decided to study and collect Japanese and Chinese works of art. In 1938 they eventually began to build their collection, buying from Belgian, Parisian, and English dealers. They kept close contact with the famous English collector Sir Harry Garner (1891-1977) and noted Czech collector and expert Fritz Low-Beer (1906-1976). In 1964, the couple lent 174 objects from their collection to the Belgian city of Leuven's museum for an exhibition titled Oude kunst in Leuvens Privebezit ('Old Art in Private Collections in Leuven'), and in 1967 they lent around thirty Japanese objects to the Royal Museums of Art and History in Brussels for their exhibition Kunst van Japan im belgischen Privatverzameingen ('Japanese Art in Belgian Private Collections'). Shōki was a scholar of early seventh-century China who committed suicide after being cheated out of the first rank in civil service examinations, yet who was buried with honors after the emperor heard the tragic tale. To show his gratitude, Shōki appeared as an exorcist in a dream of a subsequent Chinese emperor and vowed to quell demons and banish disease. In Japan, auspicious images of Shōki were displayed for the Boys' Day Festival, celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month. Shōki was generally depicted, based on the iconography, killing a small demon. However, in the Japanese popular cult that reveres him as guardian deity, he was also rendered standing alone in a more iconic mode. Okumura Masanobu (1686-1764) was a Japanese print designer, book publisher, and painter. He also illustrated novelettes and in his early years wrote some fiction. At first his work adhered to the Torii school, but later drifted beyond that. He is a figure in the formative era of ukiyo-e doing early works on actors and bijin-ga. The era Masanobu was born into was a prosperous and creatively fertile one, in which flourished the haiku poets Matsuo Bashō and Ihara Saikaku, the bunraku dramatist Chikamatsu Monzaemon, and the painter Ogata Kōrin. Masanobu was one of the most influential innovators of the ukiyo-e form, and popularizing Western-style perspective drawing. His career saw ukiyo-e evolve from its monochromatic origins to the verge of the full-color nishiki-e revolution of Suzuki Harunobu's time. Masanobu's ukiyo-e was mostly produced in the Kyōhō era. They display the printmaker's sense of line, color, and composition. The subjects are most often humorous and are executed in a lively manner with figures in brightly colored, fashionable clothing.

Masanobu, Okumura. Bijin-ga. Badeszene mit einem Hühnerpärchen. Ukiyo-e Farbholzschnitt. Signiert: "Hôgetsudô shômei Okumura Bunkaku Masanobu shôhitsu" mit der Siegelmarke "Tanchôsai". Format ôban tate-e 27,5 x 21 cm. Edo (Tokio) um 1740. -- Bijin-ga - die "Bilder von schönen Frauen" waren das vielleicht populärste Genre der Ukiyo-e Künstler, die meist junge Frauen in verschiedenen Tätigkeiten darstellten: Hier entstieg ein Mädchen gerade ihrem Bade, das sie in einem großen Holzbottich absolviert hat. Sie tritt nur mit einem Manteltuch übergeworfen auf die Terrasse ins Freie, wo ein Hühnerpärchen neugierig auf sie zukommt. Die sexuelle Konnotation liegt auf der Hand und ist charakteristisch für das Werk des Okumura Masanobu (1686-1764), der auch für seine "Frühlingsbilder", die Shungas bekannt ist. – Winziger Eckausriss oben rechts, minimales Löchleich, sonst bemerkenswert wohlerhalten und in prachtvollem Farbdruck.

Antique Japanese Okumura Masanobu Ukiyo-e Woodblock Print Riverbank Picnic
Est: $50 - $300
Described and Photographed by: Amanda HFA DBJQ TSS Title: Antique Japanese Okumura Masanobu Ukiyo-e Woodblock Print Riverbank Picnic Description: This is an amazing early ukiyo-e woodblock print by famous Japanese printer Okumura Masanobu. Okumura was a formative figure in early ukiyo-e and helped build the foundation for the movement which would persist until modern times. This print shows a group of people having a picnic on the riverbank, complete with tea, food, smoking, and music. Another group of people lounges on a boat in the river, admiring the full moon. It is signed Okumura Masanobu with his seal on the bottom right corner. Printed in black ink with red-orange ink on select areas. Circa: 1700-1740s, no way to date exactly when this was made as it predates the date-seal and censor seal system. Sight Size: 12.75x19.75 inches Mat Size: 16.5x25.5 inches Condition: Good condition. Some signs of age including browning on the paper. Some light bug damage, including two small holes in the paper (see photos). Mat looks to have been glued to backing board around the paper, not to the paper. Box Size: 31x25x6 inches, 22 lbs. *Shipping Note* The shipping weight shown is a dimensional weight, and the Mail Carrier charges a flat weight amount regardless of the item's actual weight.
