Tatsumi ShimuraOriginal Painting for a Japanese Magazine Cover or Romance Novel1960s
1960s
About the Item
Painting for a Japanese magazine cover, or possibly a romance novel. One can infer from the dramatic juxtaposition that it may have been designed for a serialized novel set in Taisho period Japan. The woman’s kimono bears a pattern consistent with the Taisho era. Shimura did a number of well-received prints in the mid 20th century. As a young man, Shimura worked as an illustrator for newspapers, serialized novels, and magazines, notably for the Japanese magazine "Woman's world" (Fujokai). His most famous illustrations were for the novel Tange Sazen by Hayashi Fubo.This painting has been framed by us with a wavelike silver frame and an acid-free mat. Sold with frame.

Japanese Beauties Enjoy a Full Moon
By Utagawa Kunisada (Toyokuni III)
Located in Burbank, CA
"Sun, Moon and Stars". Three beauties enjoy a full moon on the veranda of a teahouse or restuarant. The woman on the left kneels and adjusts her lavishly printed kimono. The beauty in the center has her hair down, and behind her is a screen against which shadows are beautifully silhouetted, which adds an air of mystery. The seated woman on the right is perhaps a geisha, as we see a shamisen lying next to her. Before her is a tray with an assortment of foods. One may surmise that the beauties are being compared to the sun, the moon, and the stars. On the left we glimpse a full moon shining over the peaceful bay, and boats at harbor. Original first edition Japanese color woodblock print triptych...
