Description
Japanese Woodblock Print, originally published 1835, this 1910s edition published by Hashiguchi Goyo, with Goyo seal in lower right corner.
SIZE IN INCHES: chuban, 7.5 x 11 inches
COMMENTS: In the 1910s Hashiguchi Goyo undertook the task of recreating the greatest ukiyo-e prints and combining them into a multi-book compendium. The quality of Goyo's reproductions is considered among the finest ever. By the end of the decade he would also produce what are often considered the finest shin-hanga bijin-ga prints of the 20th century.
TOYOKUNI UTAGAWA (1769-1825) also often referred to as Toyokuni I, to distinguish him from the members of his school who took over his go (art-name) after he died, was a great master of ukiyo-e, known in particular for his kabuki actor prints. He was the second head of the renowned Utagawa school of Japanese woodblock artists, and was the artist who really moved it to the position of great fame and power it occupied for the rest of the nineteenth century.
