Very good condition, color and fine impression. Date: c.1794. Total size: 9 3/4" x 15" inches. Signed: Choki ga. Publisher seal: Tsutaya Juzaburo.

This design is from a series of eleven famous courtesans called "Takao", who were ranked supremely as ' tayū' ("great persons")!
Chōki studied (together with Utamaro) in Sekien's studio and his work reflects the influence of both artists, as well as something of the Sharaku manner. Besides this, little is known about Chōki's birth, death or training.
His prints are very rare (he left a small quantity of works!) and his finest designs are among the best in Ukiyo-e and the most prized possessions of any collection! Chōki's genius displays a subtle and poetic elegance!
Comments:
Hillier: "Occasionally, he (Chōki) reminds us of Modigliani: there is a comparable, though not similar, perversion of human proportions in compositions
at once compelling and unsettling." (In "The Japanese print" p.98)Lane: "...so Chōki is reckoned among the most significant of the Japanese print-designers by virtue of a handful of prints bearing that certain impress we
recognize as his own." (In "Images from the Floating World" p.146)CLICK HERE >>> For more information on Chōki and this series.
Two designs from the same 'Courtesans' -series are described on p.117, 118 and 119 in "Japanese Prints" by Gabriele Fahr-Becker, published by Taschen.
Chōki's famous double half-length portrait "Moto and the geisha Mizue" was sold on an auction in New York (1996) for $190.000,- !!
Another design from this series was sold at Christies New York (Fine and Important Japanese Prints from various collections) on

Although his prints were basically kept in traditional Japanese style, Kiyochika used Western elementslike perspective, the effect of light and the graduations of shadows.

ORIGINAL RARE ANTIQUE YOKOHAMA WOODBLOCK MEIJI ERA. JAPAN.
Description:
Beautiful rare original antique Japanese color woodblock of Coastal battle, Yokohama style, 19th century, Meiji Era period. Anonymous.
Very good condition. Size: Oban yoko-e: 9 3/4 inch x 14 inches.
Depiction of a coastal battle with a man on a horse who commands his men !
At the end of the 19th century Yokohama was the most important harbour in Japan, where also various foreign delegations were settled.
Yokohama build up a new breeding ground for the portrayal of Westerners, for their habits and for the western technical acquisitions.
The rise of the new Yokohama print took place under the influence of Edo and the last of the Ukiyo-e masters and would finally drive out the Nagasaki print !
The woodblock print is attached to a very thin Japanese Washi backing paper therefore ink bleeding can still be seen through the back of the print.
Nice texture and beautiful vivid and vibrant colors which are in layers on the print ! A rare and very attractive piece of art !
