Unknown Meiji Fan Print 5 |
Posted By: J. Boussinesq Posted Date: Jan 20, 2019 (03:19 PM) |
Message Hello All, I recently obtained an album of almost 100 Japanese woodblock fan prints without a publishing date, but almost certainly late Meiji (my guess is 1895-1915). I (with help - thank you I. Nagy) have identified fans from some very well known (and not so well known) artists including: Kamisaka Sekka Suzuki Shonen Okoku Konoshima Tomioka Tessai Imao Keinen Yoshitsugu Haisan Takeuchi Seiho Kumagai Naohiko (maybe) Kikuchi Keigetsu Uemura Shoen Kono Bairei Ogata Gekko Matsumura Keibun Kawabata Gyokusho Ogata Korin Kano Tsunenobu Konobu Hasegawa Hamaya Hakuu Tomioka Tessai Fukuda Chojuko Yamaguchi Sohei Yamamoto Shunkyo Baisen Hirai Otake Chikuha So, except for some famous historical painters, all late Meiji artists, almost all of which seem to have Kyoto connections. The difficulty is that there are still prints which have not yet been identified, and some of them have numerous examples in the fan book. I am posting two more examples that appear several times in the album, but that I have been unable to identify. Representatives from the two artists are posted here with enlarged signature blocks. Any identification by the Asian Art Forum community would be greatly appreciated. J. Boussinesq |
