About the Item

Bonzes is a drypoint on Japon paper, etched on leather, made by Georges Ferdinand Bigot (Paris, 1860 - 1927). From Croquis Japonais, a print suite of 21 drypoints, a collection published at the author's expense in Tokyo in 1886. Titled on plate on the lower right margin, signed on plate on the lower left "G. Bigot". Overall very good conditions, except for some sporadic minor stains on the lower margin. In this modern art print, two bonzes are represented during a Buddhist religious ceremony. The black and gray palette is very broad. Bónzo, literally "master of the cell" or, according to others, bōshi, i.e. "master of the law", is the title given to religious men who have completed their formation. The term Buddhist monk appears for the first time in the West, in a letter written by St. Francesco Saverio in 1549.
