A GROUP OF FIVE WOODBLOCK PRINTS
Est: €300 - €600
A GROUP OF FIVE WOODBLOCK PRINTS Japan, Edo period (1615-1868)-Meiji period (1868-1912) Color woodblock prints on paper. 1. By Ogata Gekko (1859-1920). Vertical oban. Firmly backed by paper. Title Terasaka Kichiemon Nobuyuki, from the series Gishi shijushichi zu (Illustrations of the Forty-seven Loyal Retainers). Illustrating Terasaka Kichiemon Nobuyuki, one of the Forty-seven Ronin, kneeling on a veranda, delivering an item to a lady seated in the interior. SIZE of the sheet 35 x 24.2 cm Ronin are masterless samurai. The print depicts the story of 47 samurai who became masterless in 1701, after their lord had been forced to commit ritual suicide (seppuku) for assaulting a court official who had insulted him. The Ronin avenged him by killing the court official after patiently planning for over a year. Later, they were themselves forced to commit seppuku. 2. By Kitagawa Utamaro I (1753-1806). Color woodblock print and mica on paper. Vertical oban. Set behind glass. Title Uwaki no so (The Fancy-free Type), from the series Fujin sogaku juttai (Ten Types in the Physiogonomic Study of Women). SIZE of the sheet 40 x 27.5 cm This print depicting a flirt exemplifies Utamaro's interest in probing beneath the surface of a subject and his use of subtle clues to create a personality for an imaginary woman who embodies a ‘type’. The alert, somewhat searching expression found on the face of the young woman and her apparent disregard for the state of her clothing help define her as a fickle woman, one who is easily dissatisfied and constantly looking for new men in her life. 3. By Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849). Horizontal oban. Set inside a vintage frame, behind glass. Title Act IV (Yodanme), from the series Kanadehon Chushingura (The Storehouse of Loyal Retainers, a Primer). Illustrating Lady Kaoyo arranging cherry-blossom. SIZE of the sheet 26 x 38.3 cm 4. By Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861). Vertical oban. Set inside a vintage frame, behind glass. Signed Ichiyusai Kuniyoshi ga with seal Yoshi Kiri. Title Act V, from the series Chushingura Parody on Lanterns (Mitate chochingura). SIZE of the sheet 37.2 x 26.1 cm This series has the main figures of the chapters from Kabuki ‘Chushin-gura’ on lanterns on the right top, however the title of prints is a phonetically similar ‘chochin,’ meaning a lantern instead of ‘chushin,’ loyal retainers. 5. Vertical oban. Set inside a vintage frame, behind glass. Divided into three sections to depict a kingfisher on a reed, a cat leaning against a ball as it looks up at a butterfly, and irises. SIZE 34.5 x 23.5 cm Condition: Overall presenting very well, with wear, browning of paper, minor creasing, few tears, some losses, staining, and fading. Museum comparison: Compare a closely related print by Gekko, in the British Museum, museum number 1906,1220,0.1693.

OGATA GEKKO: SPARROW FEEDING ON CHERRY BLOSSOM By Ogata Gekko (1859-1920), signed Gekko with seal Japan, 19th century, Meiji period (1868-1912) Color woodblock print on paper. Vertical shikishiban. Signed Gekko with seal. Title Sparrow Feeding on Cherry Blossom. A small sparrow slurping down the nectar from a cherry blossom. Image SIZE 24.2 x 25.1 cm, SIZE incl. frame 36.6 x 37.1 cm Condition: Very good condition with minor wear. Vivid impression and colors. Trimmed margins and some foxing. Mounted on a paper with tape to the top, behind a passepartout. Provenance: From an old private collection in England. Ogata Gekko was a Japanese artist best known as a painter and a designer of ukiyo-e woodblock prints. He was self-taught in art, won numerous national and international prizes, and was one of the earliest Japanese artists to win an international audience. Gekko was self-taught in art, and began decorating porcelain and rickshaws, and designing flyers for the pleasure quarters. His early style shows the influence of the painter Kikuchi Yosai. About 1881 he took the surname Ogata at the insistence of a descendant of the painter Ogata Korin. He soon was designing prints and illustrating books and newspapers. In 1885 Gekko exhibited in the Painting Appreciation Society, and he became acquainted with the art scholars Ernest Fenellosa and Okakura Kakuzo. The square shishikiban format appears to have been a favourite of Gekko's. Over 60 prints appear in his oeuvre in this size. Museum comparison: A closely related print, with similar seals, is in the collection of the Edo-Tokyo Museum, document number 88004209.
