Subject:Folding book of woodblock prints (Ori Ehon Ukiyo-E?)
Posted By: Viva Tue, Jul 18, 2017 IP: 69.181.122.193 I recently got this piece - it has 80 beautiful woodblock prints. Amazing imagery (singles, diptychs, triptychs) in wonderfully rich colors, gradients, pastels... some silvery metallic ink here and there for snow falling, graying hair, etc. Great registration. It has no writing on the front or back pieces. I can't possibly guess at it's age, but there are some prints with people wearing Western-style attire. Any leads on what to look for to help with dating? |

Posted By: Viv Fri, Jul 21, 2017 Thanks for the link and the names. Just the sort of direction is was looking for... much appreciated. I absolutely didn't expect an image by image review. |

Posted By: Stan Wed, Jul 19, 2017 You have a very nice conglomeration of Meiji (late 1800s) Japanese woodblock prints by various artists. The triptych looks like it is by Chikashige and the single looks like it is by Yoshitoshi (though it is hard to see the signatures in your pix). |

Posted By: Stan Wed, Jul 19, 2017 I stand corrected. The single is by Nakazawa Toshiaki. See link below. |

Posted By: Stan Wed, Jul 19, 2017 I guess I was right. I could see the signatures. I stand corrected again. The triptych is by Chikanobu. See link below: |
