Hiroaki Shotei Takahashi (Japan, 1871-1945) Sudden Rain Japanese Woodblock Print

Hiroaki Shotei Takahashi (Japan, 1871-1945) Sudden Rain Japanese Woodblock Print

Shotei Takahashi Takahash Shotei. When he was 16 years old, he started a job with the Imperial Household Department of Foreign Affairs, where he copied the designs of foreign ceremonial objects. As with many Japanese woodblock artists over his lifetime he signed his work with various names and worked for several publishing companies. After studying art, Shotei and Terazaki Kogyo founded the Japan Youth Painting Society in 1889. In 1907, as a successful artist, he was recruited by Shzabur Watanabe to contribute to the Shin Hanga (“New Prints”) art movement in Japan. Watanabe helped to fulfill the Western demand for Ukiyoe woodblock prints which would be similar to familiar historical masters of that genre, including Hiroshige. In about 1921 Shotei added the artistic name of Hiroaki. In 1923 the Great Kanto earthquake (and subsequent fire) destroyed Watanabe’s facilities; this included all Shin Hanga woodblocks. Thus, Shotei recreated prior designs destroyed in the Great Kanto earthquake and also continued to produce new woodblocks. Shotei died of pneumonia on February 11, 1945. There is a persistent rumor that he died in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, but this is incorrect. Since Watanabe produced artwork for Western collectors there are numerous copies of Shotei woodblocks in Western museums including the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts.

JAPANESE WOODBLOCK PRINT TORII KOTONDO AME (Rain)

JAPANESE WOODBLOCK PRINT TORII KOTONDO AME (Rain)

Torii Kotondo (1900 – 1976) is one of his series, “Twelve Aspects of Woman”, originally published in 1930. It is not a poster, nor is it an enhanced “Giclee” print, but a very collectible Japanese woodblock print. Kotondo’s signature and seal are in the image on the. Right side of the print. This art is even more beautiful up close and personal. When you receive it, take particular note of the subtle, Bokashi shading and get a closer look at the exquisite “Gauffrage”, or embossing, that accentuates the “rain” and the folds of her kimono. This is a very old technique (circa 1120), developed by Japanese artists to add dimensionality and life to art on an otherwise flat surface. You will also be able to appreciate the highly detailed carving, especially the appearance of individual hairs. You will not see these important distinctions in posters or reproductions. This is truly a stunning example of Japanese Bijin-ga style. Paper size: 17.5 inches x 12.5 inches (44.45 cm x 31.75 cm) Image size:16 inches x 10.125 inches (40.64 cm x 25.72 cm). The print is in excellent condition. Full margins; never framed. There are no notable marks, discolorations, scuffs, stains, or folds. It has been kept in a smoke-free environment.
