    TSUKIOKA YOSHITOSHI: MOON FOR SARUGAKU

    Est: €200 - €400

    TSUKIOKA YOSHITOSHI: MOON FOR SARUGAKU By Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892), signed Yoshitoshi with seal Taiso Japan, dated 15 January 1891 Color woodblock print on paper. Vertical oban. Signed Yoshitoshi with seal Taiso; publisher Akiyama Buemon. Title sarugaku no tsuki (Moon for sarugaku), number 92 from the series Tsuki no hyakushi (One Hundred Aspects of the Moon). A samurai in formal attire stands backstage at a humorous dance performance known as saragaku (‘monkey music’), which includes song, dance and music, sponsored by the Shogun. The people in the background are quarrelling to secure the best seats. SIZE of the sheet 34.6 x 23.7 cm Condition: Good condition with minor wear and slight browning of paper. The colors slightly faded. Few tiny losses to the outer edge to the base. Minor stains to the lower-left corner. Slightly trimmed margins. Backed with Japan paper. Provenance: From the estate of Sear Hang Hwie Pao (1937-2009). Pao was one of Canada’s leading dealers of Chinese porcelain and works of art. His antique store, Pao & Moltke Ltd., owned together with his wife Mrs. von Moltke, who descended from a German and Danish noble family, was a fixture in Toronto’s trendy Yorkville area from the 1980s to early 2000s. This print is part of Yoshitoshi's famous series One Hundred Aspects of the Moon, which consists of one hundred prints with the moon as a unifying motif and depicts scenes from traditional Chinese and Japanese history and lore. Prints from the series were released individually or in groups every few months, with the final image completed shortly before Yoshitoshi's death. The series proved tremendously popular, with patrons lining up to purchase the new releases as soon as they became available. Today, One Hundred Aspects of the Moon remains Yoshitoshi's most well-known work. Originating in the tenth century, saragaku evolved into Noh theatre by the 15th century. Here, a crowd of men carrying umbrellas have come early to try and find seats to watch a performance. It is a dawn moon, indicating it is an early performance which would last from 8am until the afternoon. During the Edo period the emperor’s envoy would be sent from Kyoto to Edo to send new-year greetings from the Tokugawa family. It was customary that the envoy and commoners from districts in the city be invited to a Noh performance. Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) was one of the leading woodblock print artists during the Meiji era (1868-1912) and one of the last to work in the traditional ukiyo-e manner. Born in Edo (today’s Tokyo), he showed a strong interest in classical Japanese literature and history. When he was 11, he became a student at Kuniyoshi Utagawa’s studio. Under his teacher’s guidance, he showed exquisite draftsmanship skills and learned how to draw from life, something not necessarily part of the training schools of painting and illustration in Japan. Museum comparison: A closely related print, with similar seals, is in the collection of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, accession number 258.2012.92.

The young man probably has more than an erect hat. After waiting for a long period, he loudly flicks his fan open and close to get her attention.

To secure succession, he adopted his nephew to whom he gave the name Hidetsugu. While still a soldier in Hideyoshi’s army, Hidetsugu showed great promise of leadership, but became increasingly cruel and offensive. The opportunity to dispose of Hidetsugu came when Hideyoshi finally had a biological son. Hidetsugu was confined in a temple on Mount Koya and ordered to commit suicide.

Prints from the series were released individually or in groups every few months, with the final image completed shortly before Yoshitoshi's death. The series proved tremendously popular, with patrons lining up to purchase the new releases as soon as they became available. Today, One Hundred Aspects of the Moon remains Yoshitoshi's most well-known work. The young woman depicted here is a tsujigimi (‘mistress of the street corner’). Belonging to the lowest class of prostitutes, tsujigimi had to roam the streets, carrying a straw-mat under their arm, ready to be rolled out on demand. Unlike the young woman shown in this print, tsujigimi were usually old and used heavy white make-up to cover their blemishes. Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) was one of the leading woodblock print artists during the Meiji era (1868-1912) and one of the last to work in the traditional ukiyo-e manner. Born in Edo (today’s Tokyo), he showed a strong interest in classical Japanese literature and history. When he was 11, he became a student at Kuniyoshi Utagawa’s studio. Under his teacher’s guidance, he showed exquisite draftsmanship skills and learned how to draw from life, something not necessarily part of the training schools of painting and illustration in Japan. Museum comparison: A closely related print, with similar seals, is in the collection of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, accession number 258.2012.49.

After having unsuccessfully plotted against the powerful Taira family in 1180, Mochihito was forced to flee from his Takakura mansion outside of Kyoto. Nobutsura cleverly had Mochihito and his companion dressed as travelling women, wearing wide-brimmed hats and all-concealing veils. Here, Nobutsura watches the fleeing prince before returning to defend his lord’s mansion.

Kenreimonin felt if Kogo had a son by her husband the child could be a risk to the throne. The empress gave orders to poison Kogo, so she ran away. The emperor was so upset that he ordered that Kogo be found. The courtier and flute player Nakakuni, who had performed with Kogo – a brilliant koto (zither) player – rode on his horse around the countryside looking for her. Here, in this bright moonlit scene, Nakakuni is playing the song Sofuren (‘love for the husband’) on his flute. He finds her as she responds to his tune on her koto. She ultimately returned to the emperor, had a baby girl, and was sent away to become a nun.

    TSUKIOKA YOSHITOSHI: TRIPTYCH OF YORIMITSU AND HIS FOUR COMPANIONS CONQUERING THE DEMON OF OEYAMA

    Est: €3,000 - €6,000

    TSUKIOKA YOSHITOSHI: TRIPTYCH OF YORIMITSU AND HIS FOUR COMPANIONS CONQUERING THE DEMON OF OEYAMA By Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892), signed Yoshitoshi ga Japan, dated 1864 Color woodblock prints on paper. Oban triptych. Signed Yoshitoshi ga; publisher Kiya. Title Yorimitsu shiten-o Oeyama kishin taiji nozu (Yorimitsu and his four companions conquering the demon of Oe Mountain). To the bottom-center, Raiko fearlessly faces the raging monster, who grimaces and reaches for him. A samurai has climbed onto Shuten-doji's leg to thrust his sword at him, while the other warriors likewise surround him with swords drawn. On either side, smaller horned demons tumble through the air while beauties flee. SIZE ca. 24.9 x 36.8 (each sheet) Condition: Very good condition with minor wear. Good impression and colors. Trimmed margins, some fading to colors, and minor creasing. The famous story of Shuten-doji (drunken demon) is one of Japan’s most gruesome legends. It deals with tales of good and evil and the actions of the heroic character Minamoto no Yorimitsu (Raiko). Originating in the Heian period (794-1185), the story describes a demon who kidnaps and cannibalizes young maidens in Kyoto with the help of his oni assistants. Impersonating Buddhist monks, Raiko and his four loyal attendants enter Shuten-doji’s lair by enticing the demons with rice wine. Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) was one of the leading woodblock print artists during the Meiji era and one of the last to work in the traditional ukiyo-e manner. Born in Edo (today’s Tokyo), he showed a strong interest in classical Japanese literature and history. When he was 11, he became a student at Kuniyoshi Utagawa’s studio. Under his teacher’s guidance, he showed exquisite draftsmanship skills and learned how to draw from life, something not necessarily part of the training schools of painting and illustration in Japan.
