ICHIEISAI YOSHITSUYA: TRIPTYCH OF YORIMITSU TRYING TO CAPTURE HAKAMADARE BY DESTROYING HIS MAGIC
Est: €2,000 - €4,000
ICHIEISAI YOSHITSUYA: TRIPTYCH OF YORIMITSU TRYING TO CAPTURE HAKAMADARE BY DESTROYING HIS MAGIC By Ichieisai Yoshitsuya (1822-1866), signed Ichieisai Yoshitsuya Japan, dated 1858 Color woodblock print on paper. Oban Triptych. Signed Ichieisai Yoshitsuya, censor’s seal Horse 4, publisher Tsutaya Kichizo (Koeido). Title Kijutsu o yabutte Yorimitsu Hakamadare o karamen to su (Yorimitsu Tries to Capture Hakamadare by Destroying His Magic). The triptych depicts the confrontation between Minamoto no Yorimitsu and the magician Hakamadare Yasumasa from the Taiheiki (Chronicle of Great Peace), which is a Japanese historical epic written in the late 14th century and covers the period from 1319 to 1367. Lord Minamoto Yorimitsu (also known as Raiko) and three of his four top retainers pursue the notorious thief Hakamadare, who attempts to evade capture by using magic to create a distracting illusion of a fight between a bear and an enormous snake. SIZE each c. 36 x 25.1 cm Condition: Very good condition with minor wear. Very good impression and colors. Minor soiling and rubbing to the edges. Slightly trimmed margins. Ichiesai Yoshitsuya (1822-1866) was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist who worked primarily in the mid-19th century. He was a student of Utagawa Kuniyoshi and specialized in creating prints featuring kabuki actors and historical subjects. Yoshitsuya was known for his dynamic and dramatic compositions, as well as his use of bright colors and intricate details. He collaborated with other prominent artists and publishers of his time and created a large body of work that continues to be highly regarded. Yoshitsuya died at the young age of 44.

UTAGAWA YOSHITSUYA: TRIPTYCH OF THE BATTLE OF TAKADACHI IN OSHU PROVINCE IN 1187, A WHITE DRAGON ASCENDS TO HEAVEN FROM THE KOROMO RIVER
Est: €800 - €1,500
UTAGAWA YOSHITSUYA: TRIPTYCH OF THE BATTLE OF TAKADACHI IN OSHU PROVINCE IN 1187, A WHITE DRAGON ASCENDS TO HEAVEN FROM THE KOROMO RIVER By Utagawa Yoshitsuya (1822-1866), signed Ichieisai Yoshitsuya ga Japan, dated 1857 Color woodblock print on paper. Oban triptych. Signed Ichieisai Yoshitsuya ga, censor’s seal aratame Snake 11; publisher Tsujiokaya Bunsuke (Kinshodo). Title Bunji sannen Oshu Takadachi kassen Koromogawa yori hakuryu ten e noboru (At the Battle of Takadachi in Oshu Province in 1187, a White Dragon Ascends to Heaven from the Koromo River). A band of warriors gazes in awe at a white dragon rising from the Koromo River in the midst of a lightning storm. At the center stands the great warrior-monk Benkei, who holds a staff with a red banner embellished with the Wheel of the Buddhist Law. Benkei was the devoted retainer of the young Minamoto no Yoshitsune (1159-89), who stands to Benkei's left beside a pine tree. On the breastplate of Yoshitsune in the right-hand panel is the sasarindo (family crest). The two tragic heroes, who died in battle in 1189, became the subjects of many legends, which were collected in the fifteenth-century Gikeiki and performed in Noh and kabuki theater. SIZE each c. 37.4 x 25.3 cm Condition: Very good condition with minor wear. Good impression and colors. Some wear and tiny losses to the outer edges. Minor repairs. In this triptych, Yoshitsuya, a pupil of Kuniyoshi reveals his mastery of conventions of the warrior subjects popularized by his teacher's bold, innovative designs. The flat, black background focuses attention on the white dragon and the brilliant armor of the warriors in the foreground. In comparison with Kuniyoshi's prints, which are full of action, the figures in this print seem to have stopped momentarily, as if they were actors in a kabuki performance. Utagawa Yoshitsuya (1822-1866) was a Japanese designer of ukiyo-e woodblock prints. Yoshitsuya was a student of Utagawa Kuniyoshi and, like his teacher, is best known for his woodblock prints of warriors. Museum comparison: A closely related triptych is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, accession number 11.37940a-c.

Utagawa Yoshitsuya 歌川芳艶 (JAPAN, 1822-1866) A battle 1864 Ōban tata-e woodblock print From the series of ‘Fifty-four Battle Stories of Hideyoshi’ Publisher Tsutaya Kichizo Koeido (蔦屋吉蔵紅英堂) Dimensions (the leaf): 36,6 x 25,4 cm Provenance: A large collection of 100+ Japanese woodblock prints, properties from a French collector. Notes : A student of Utagawa Kuniyoshi, Utagawa Yoshitsuya is also known as Kōko Yoshitsuya (甲胡芳艶) and as Ichieisai Yoshitsuya (一英斎芳艶). He was a Japanese designer of ukiyo-e woodblock prints and has also produced many advertisements and designs for tattoos. The ‘Fifty-four Battle Stories of Hideyoshi’ is Yoshitsuya’s finest series of prints. Hagiography is an art common to all cultures - this combination of historical fact, mythology and fiction, designed to elevate the subject and set him (usually) above his contemporaries. After 1864, the relaxation of rules banning the direct depiction of historical characters allowed this series to be made. Yoshitsuya takes passages from two old hagiographies as the subject matter, depicting true and fanciful stories of victories and battles. The series is lavishly printed, complex and detailed with many colors and blocks, beautifully carved and imagine. Each print is framed with a decorative border.
