  • TSUKIOKA YOSHITOSHI: TAMETOMO'S FEROCITY DRIVES AWAY THE SMALLPOX DEMONS

    TSUKIOKA YOSHITOSHI: TAMETOMO'S FEROCITY DRIVES AWAY THE SMALLPOX DEMONS

    Est: €500 - €1,000

    TSUKIOKA YOSHITOSHI: TAMETOMO'S FEROCITY DRIVES AWAY THE SMALLPOX DEMONS By Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892), signed Yoshitoshi with seal Yoshitoshi Japan, dated 1890 Color woodblock print on paper. Vertical oban. Signed Yoshitoshi with seal Yoshitoshi; publisher Sasaki Toyokichi. Title Tametomo's Ferocity Drives away the Smallpox Demons, from the series Shinken sanjuroku kaisen (Thirty-Six New Forms of Ghosts). The warrior Minamoto no Tametomo driving away smallpox demons with his stern stance. He wears a fine suit of armor with a lion on the chest plate, gripping a bow in one hand. The demons scatter in alarm, an older one carrying a young demon covered with red spots on its back. SIZE of the sheet 37 x 25 cm Condition: Good condition with minor wear, some staining, and minor soiling. The sheet with a fold at the center. Minuscule losses to the outer edge and one tear. The legendary Tametomo was known as a powerful archer and fought during the Hogen Rebellion, but after being defeated he was exiled to an island. He conquered the island for himself, so the emperor sent a fleet to capture and punish him. After supposedly sinking an entire Taira ship with a single arrow, he committed suicide rather than be captured. According to one story, he didn't die, but escaped to Okinawa, becoming the ruler there. He effectively chased away smallpox demons when they threatened the islanders by persuading them to leave. Yoshitoshi's last woodblock series, Thirty-Six New Forms of Ghosts, draws on an array of supernatural tales from both China and Japan. The images depict the weird, wonderful, and sinister ghost stories that were widely told among the Japanese population. Interestingly, this series was produced at a time when the Meiji government actively discouraged anything that contradicted Western science and rationality, leading some critics to regard this series as a criticism of the government's new ideology. Ghost stories have long been a rich source of subject for kabuki plays and Noh, which in turn would inspire ukiyo-e artists in their print making. Several of the subjects for the Thirty-six Ghosts were taken directly from Noh, whereas many more of prints were based on stories from kabuki plays. 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 is in the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, object number F89-7/16.

Signed Yoshitoshi with seal; publisher Sasaki Toyokichi. Title Omoi tsuzura (The Heavy Basket), from the series Shinken sanjuroku kaisen (Thirty-Six New Forms of Ghosts). Depicting the climactic scene from the folklore The Tongue-Cut Sparrow (Shita-kiri Suzume) when the greedy old woman's avarice leads to her downfall, as supernatural creatures burst forth from a mysterious wicker basket. SIZE of the sheet 37.3 x 25.5 cm Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, some fading to colors, and slight browning to paper. The outer edges with small losses. The tale of the Tongue-Cut Sparrow follows a spiteful old woman named Ara, her neighbor, a kind old man, named Nasakeji, and a small sparrow named Bidori. Nasakeji had a fondness for sparrows, and in particular loved and cared for the young Bidori. However, one day when Nasakeji was out, Bidori pecked at some of Ara's rice paste, for which she cut out his tongue. In fear and pain the sparrow fled, never to return to the village. Nasakeji searched far and wide for Bidori, until one day they were reunited at the sparrow's forest home. Bidori introduced the man to his family, and shared with him a humble feast. When it was time for Nasakeji to leave, Bidori insisted that he take one of two baskets as a gift. Weighing the two, the man decided to take the smaller, lighter one, and set off homeward. When he returned home and opened the basket, Nasakeji was amazed to find it brimming with gold and jewels. Ara, ever greedy, raced to the forest and insisted the sparrow give her the same choice of baskets. When Bidori calmly obliged, she took the heavier of the two, but was disappointed to discover that it was filled not with treasure but a parade of demons.

    Trittico di xilografie policrome in formato grande (Oban), firmate ‘oju Taiso Yoshitoshi sha’ con due sigilli nell’angolo inferiore sinistro, sigillo ‘Suri Tsune’ dello stampatore, editore Akiyama Buemon. 35,00 x 72,00 cm Questo trittico è tra i più noti non solo della produzione di Yoshitoshi, ma di tutta la storia dell’Ukiyo-e, le “immagini del mondo fluttuante”, il genere che meglio ha descritto la società borghese del Giappone tra XVII e XIX secolo. La storia raffigurata è quella di Fujiwara Yasumasa (958-1036), nobile di corte nel periodo Heian con uno straordinario talento nel suonare il flauto. Secondo una leggenda, una sera, mentre era intento a suonare al chiarore della luna, gli si avvicinò furtivo il brigante Kidomaru. Tuttavia, ammaliato dal suono del flauto, Kidomaru desistette dai suoi cattivi propositi. Questo trittico è la versione a stampa di un dipinto che Yoshitoshi aveva presentato nel 1882 ad una importante esposizione nazionale. L’editore Akiya Buemon, ammaliato dalla forza di quella composizione, commissionò all’artista una versione xilografia. (3) - A triptych of large-format polychrome woodblock prints (ōban), signed ‘oju Taiso Yoshitoshi sha’ with two seals in the lower left corner, printer’s seal ‘Suri Tsune’, publisher Akiyama Buemon. 13.78 x 28.35 in. This triptych is among the best known not only in Yoshitoshi's production, but in the entire history of Ukiyo-e, the ‘images of the floating world’, the genre that best described Japan's bourgeois society between the 17th and 19th Centuries. The story depicted is that of Fujiwara Yasumasa (958-1036), a court nobleman in the Heian period with an extraordinary talent for playing the flute. According to one legend, one evening, while he was intent on playing in the moonlight, the brigand Kidomaru approached him furtively. However, captivated by the sound of the flute, Kidomaru desisted from his evil intentions. This triptych is the printed version of a painting that Yoshitoshi had presented in 1882 at a major national exhibition. The publisher Akiya Buemon, captivated by the power of that composition, commissioned a woodblock version from the artist. (3)

    An original Japanese woodblock diptych print by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) titled Emperor Go-Daigo. This is an intriguing image of the 14th-century Emperor Go-Daigo at his secluded palace in Kasagiyama. After the emperor's plans to overthrow the Kamakura Shogunate were discovered, he fled to Kasagiyama, hiding the Sacred Treasures there and raising an army to defend himself. Here, he has fallen asleep over a low red lacquer table and is dreaming. Two small ghosts appear in a wisp of smoke at left, childlike figures wearing white robes over hakama pants. The spirits seem benign, smiling happily, perhaps a reminder of better times. Wonderful detail in the elegant furnishings, with delicate embossing in the white robes and drapery, burnishing in the black lacquer platform, and soft shading. A fascinating subject. They are matted and framed under glass and each one measures 18.5 inches x 22.5 inches.

    An original Japanese woodblock diptych print by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) titled Emperor Go-Daigo. This is an intriguing image of the 14th-century Emperor Go-Daigo at his secluded palace in Kasagiyama. After the emperor's plans to overthrow the Kamakura Shogunate were discovered, he fled to Kasagiyama, hiding the Sacred Treasures there and raising an army to defend himself. Here, he has fallen asleep over a low red lacquer table and is dreaming. Two small ghosts appear in a wisp of smoke at left, childlike figures wearing white robes over hakama pants. The spirits seem benign, smiling happily, perhaps a reminder of better times. Wonderful detail in the elegant furnishings, with delicate embossing in the white robes and drapery, burnishing in the black lacquer platform, and soft shading. A fascinating subject. They are matted and framed under glass and each one measures 18.5 inches x 22.5 inches.

    Tsukioka Yoshitoshi Japanese Block Print Moonlight Patrol Saitō Toshimitsu, from the series One Hundred Aspects of the Moon

    Est: -

    Condition: Minor marks on frame Item Description **Tsukioka Yoshitoshi: Moonlight Patrol - Saitō Toshimitsu from One Hundred Aspects of the Moon This exquisite woodblock print, titled "Moonlight Scouting Patrol: Saitō Toshimitsu," is part of the renowned collection *Tsuki hyakushi* (One Hundred Aspects of the Moon) by the esteemed ukiyo-e artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi. Created by his student, Toshikage, this print serves as a memorial portrait of the ill-fated warrior Saitō Toshimitsu, also known as Saitō Kuranosuke Toshimitsu, who was historically a retainer of the Saito family in Mino Province The *Tsuki hyakushi* series, published in batches by Akiyama Buemon between 1885 and 1892, comprises 100 striking nishiki-e (multicolored woodblock prints) that celebrate various aspects of the moon. Each print draws on rich Japanese and Chinese anecdotes, historical events, and mythology, encompassing a diverse array of subjects, including famous warriors, notable women, animals, and supernatural beings. This particular print captures the essence of Toshimitsu, highlighting his valor and tragic fate under the enchanting glow of the moonlight The collection is contained within a folding book that includes all 100 prints along with two indexes compiled after the series' completion. While the prints were released in a specific order, scholars suggest that the arrangement in the album reflects the order in the indexes rather than their original publication sequence, with some variations Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, a prominent figure in the ukiyo-e movement and a disciple of Utagawa Kuniyoshi, produced an extensive range of artworks throughout his career, including bijin-ga (images of beautiful women) and fuzoku-ga (depictions of manners and customs). This series, completed in the year of Yoshitoshi's passing, is celebrated as a pinnacle of his artistic achievement, showcasing his mastery and innovative approach to the traditional woodblock print medium In "Moonlight Scouting Patrol: Saitō Toshimitsu," viewers are invited to reflect on the historical significance and cultural depth of Yoshitoshi's work, as well as the poignant story of Saitō Toshimitsu, who remains a symbol of loyalty and tragic heroism within the rich tapestry of Japanese history.
