Description:
[CREATIVE PRINT MOVEMENT] Matsuzaki U-ichi. Untitled "EIGHT VIEWS OF NAGASAKI" 8 oblong oban size prints, tipped onto sheets and overlain by English and Japanese bilingual descriptions of the scenes depicted. The sheets are 30.5 x 38.2 cm. Matsuzaki [1895-1972] did these prints in the early 1950s. He had attended Tokyo Bijutsu Gakko and was an art professor in Nagasaki through and after the Pacific War. An almost unheard of group of lovely landscape prints of a city devastated by the atom bombing, which is mentioned but the effects of which are never depicted. If one didn't know by the text, one might think it a pre-Ware production and, indeed, perhaps it was, and unpublished, was repurposed for a much different audience. Just a guess, but may bear more research. The prints and folders are in very good condition, despite their apparent fragility.

Description:
1866. KAWAMURA UKOKU. NAGASAKI KIKO SHASEICHO 42 double page [image size 25.3 x 29.2 cm] paintings in sumi with slight color, painted by Ukoku in 1866. There are also 8 double page paintings in a different hand and one double page of calligraphy dated to Taisho 11 [1922]. Ukoku [1838-1906] was born a member of the samurai class and became an important member of the Meiji government. He was known as a teacher of nanga-style art later in life, but this scroll depicts scenes from a journey he took on behalf of the Bakufu in the closing days of the old Tokugawa regime in the late 1860's. His "sketchbook" of the journey is dated the third month of 1866. We know from his biography that he was sent on a mission to Nagasaki at that time. Besides having many students, fulfilling the Nanga amateur painter ideal, he also eventually served as a justice in the Japanese Supreme Court. His life is a superb example of the interaction of tradition and modernity, vocation and skilled avocation of a truly cultured… Read More

Umehara Hokumei 梅原北明, Murayama Tomoyoshi 村山知義, et al. Bungei Shijō 文藝市場. Tokyo. Shōwa 2 [1927]. [Avant Garde]. 21.7 x 15cm literary markets magazine in paper wrappers. July issue,169 pages. First published in November of 1925, this issue of July 1927, towards the end of its run, unleashed its mordant humor on the literary world of Japan. At first solidly left wing and immersed in the avante garde, the magazine lasted for 19 issues, when Umehara Hokumei 梅原北明 (1901-1946) took his interests into even more scandalous avenues and began publishing Grotesque magazine, the heart of the ero-guro (エログロ) movement. This particular issue hints at the direction of Grotesque, with images and essays that explore topics that combine the erotic and the bizarre. Wrappers are dust soiled. Spine heavily chipped with loss of text.
