Taiso YoshitoshiThe Boy Botaro and his Nurse Otsuji and a Lotus Pond1886
1886
About the Item
The boy Bôtarô watches his nurse Otsuji haul a bucket of water from the well. From the kabuki play Osanago no adauchi. Most interesting is the lush backdrop of lotus flowers and pumpkin blossoms. It is also interesting how attractive Otsuji seems and how sensual her pose is, although this story revolves around how steadfast and loyal she was to her charge. As evidenced by the three-colored title cartouche, this is a first edition from 1886 from the series "New Selection of Eastern Brocade Pictures". Untrimmed and unbacked. Note that this is a diptych, comprised of two separately printed sheets intended to be joined together. There is blindprinting in the white robe of Otsuji. A beautiful work for a child's bedroom!

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...
