About the Item
A scene from a series of ghost stories and spooky rural legends.
Tokyo: Matsuki Heikichi, 1896.
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, the full sheet. Scattered handling wear, adhesive residue and early linen tape repairs on the verso. Recto is largely unaffected. Meiji period (1868-1912), from the series of essays and images called Sketches by Gekkō (Gekkō zuihitsu).
This particular essay from Gekkō zuihitsu is in reference to a legend of a strange, old woman who served a master who had a rare disease. The only cure for his ailment was the blood of children born in a certain month. The woman was said to roam the countryside taking small jobs in homes, secretly in search of children; a cautionary tale.
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.

"House Cleaning in Preparation for the New Year" - Japanese Woodblock on Paper
House cleaning scene by Kitagawa Utamaro (Japanese, 1753-1806). This print was originally published around 1796-1799, with this example being a later reprint. The full scene is five sheets - there are two more sheets to the right that show more members of the house. However, it is these three sheets that contain the majority of the action - a maid sweeping at a mouse, a lady fainting, and a painting moved aside to allow for cleaning.
