About the Item

"Toy Horse Dance" Japanese Woodblock Triptych with Beauties and Mt Fuji Vibrant three-panel woodblock print by Utagawa Toyohiro (Japanese, 1773–1828). Court ladies look on as a group performs a dance with a toy horse. There is a large screen that has been painted with a scene of Mt Fuji. Beyond the screen, there is a wooden walkway outside. Blossoming cherry branches can be seen just beyond the railing. Re-cut circa 1910-1921. Presented in a new cream mat. Mat size: 24"H x 36"W Paper size: 17.75"H x 32.38"W Utagawa Toyohiro, birth name Okajima Tōjiro (1773–1828), was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist and painter. He was a member of the Utagawa school and studied under Utagawa Toyoharu, the school's founder. His works include a number of ukiyo-e landscape series, as well as many depictions of the daily activities in the Yoshiwara entertainment quarter; many of his stylistic features paved the way for Hokusai and Hiroshige (the latter a prodigy who studied under Toyohiro, becoming one of the very finest of all landscape artists), as well as producing an important series of ukiyo-e triptychs in collaboration with Toyokuni, and numerous book and e-hon illustrations, which occupied him in his later years.
