  • Used

Description

Tokyo: Matsuki Heikichi, 1893. Woodcut in ink with embossing and hand-coloring in watercolor on handmade mulberry paper, 14 1/2 x 9 7/8 inches (368 x 251 mm), ōban tate-e, full margins. Scattered handling wear, adhesive residue on the verso, and minor edge losses at the left sheet edge and top right corner, well outside of image area. Meiji period (1868-1912), from the series of 47 essays and images called Sketches by Gekkō (Gekkō zuihitsu). Ogaka Gekkō (originally known as Nakagami Masanosuke) was a self-trained artist who was orphaned at a young age and survived by illustrating brochures, selling drawings, and designing rickshaws. While the likes of Kitagawa Utamaro, Hishikawa Moronobu, Keisei Eisen, and Suzuki Harunobu were regarded as the innovators and masters of the bijin-ga form, Gekkō was one of the first Japanese woodblock print designers to achieve international recognition during his lifetime. - Parkstone International, Looking Beyond the Portrait, November 5, 2015.
