About the Item

In image of the Tokugawa family paying homage to Tosho-gu Shrine in Nikko. 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, some spots of adhesive residue on the verso and a small edge tear along the left-center sheet edge, extending approximately 1/2-inch into the image. Meiji period (1868 – 1912), from the series of 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.
