Rare Hashira-e – Isoda Koryusai – Seven Lucky Gods On A Boat – c.1760/70.
Description: A rare pillar print featuring the famous Seven Lucky Gods mythology. Depicted from top to bottom, Bishamonten,(a Japanese version of the Buddhist deity Vasraivana) the god of warriors and authority, holding a trident harpoon and always looking angry because evil is ever present. Underneath him on the right stands Jurojin, the god of longevity. He is inextricably bound up with the tortoise (who’s in the water below) and the crane (above him). The goddess of art, knowledge and beauty Benzaiten is playing her shamisen (three stringed guitar) while Hotei , god of abundance and happiness, is shaving his beard. Next to them on the left with the long forehead is Fukurokuju, a deity for happiness, wealth and longevity, reading a scroll. It is said that this sacred scroll contains all the wisdom in the world. The man with the black hat and holding the fan is Ebisu, the god representing the fishers and merchants. Standing in front of the boat is Daikokuten, the god of wealth, commerce and trade, who is playing on a drum. Koryusai’s distinguishing and characteristic color scheme dominated by his favorite orange pigment (beni-e) is applied deliberately in this design. Although he worked in all genres and formats but he really excelled in the erotic genre (shunga) and the his handling of the pillar format (hashira-e) is unmatched in Ukiyo-e. His work has been included in the British Museum, Tokyo National Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum. Koryusai’s influence on Japanese art should not be underestimated.

Description: A highy detailed close-up portrait of an oiran (high-class

During the Edo period, ohaguro, or teeth blackening, was a common practice amongst married woman as a symbol of marital fidelity, with a young bride collecting the ingredients from seven close friends and relatives and dyeing her teeth for the time just prior to her wedding. It was also practiced in the Yoshiwara pleasure quarters, where an apprentice courtesan would receive the ingredients from seven friends and dye her teeth for the first time when she was on the verge of making her debut and accepting her first customer. |

These ascetic designs capture the vitality of Hokusai's genius wonderfullly. Many of the images mimic his famous works in "100 Views of Fuji" and "36 Views of Fuji", sceneries that Hokusai perhaps felt the need to revisit. |

p1810 - €650 - US$ Rare Tsukioka Yoshitoshi - Lady Masao Attacked By Snakes - Supernatural Subject - Eastern Brocade Series - c.1867.
Description: A magnificent early Yoshitoshi piece from his series portraying
popular stories of drama and violence. The stories are retold by
Kanagaki Robun in text blocks that take the form of a book with the
pages bent back. In this case, the folded book shaped cartouche at the
top right of the print displays the text of the story. The woman
depicted is Lady Masao from Osasahara. Her body is entwined with
curling snakes with hissing tongues. One of the serpents is wrapped
around her arm as she tries to free herself. Her lips are turning
blue, which indicates her death imminent. Incredible fine line work in her delicate hair and carefully
detailed variety of snakes. An exceptional supernatural subject
enhanced by a deeply shaded background focusing all attention on the
unfortunate beauty. The great Yoshitoshi depicts the fantastic
violence and drama of these popular narratives with wonderful realism
and his characteristic attention to detail. One of the finest designs
of Yoshitoshi's 'Eastern Brocade' -series ! |
