About the Item

A geisha prepares for a shamisen performance for the New Year is an original modern artwork realized by Yanagawa Shigenobu (1787–1832) in the 19th Century. Shikishiban. Dimensions: 26 x 23 cm. Very good impression with blind printing and silver pigment, a little bit yellowed and soiled. Sign.: Hokusai ga. Yanagawa Shigenobu (1787–1832) was a Japanese artist in the ukiyo-e style. He was active in Edo from the Bunka period onward. His Osaka period dated from 1822 to 1825. In Edo, he resided in Honjo Yanagawa-cho district. He was first the pupil, then son-in-law, and finally adopted son of the Edo master painter Katsushika Hokusai. He designed illustrated books, prints, and surimono. In Osaka, he worked with the gifted block cutter and printer Tani Seiko. Shigenobu focused on theatrical subjects, but some of his best work in Osaka includes a series of deluxe oban prints depicting geisha in the Shinmachi Nerimono parade in Osaka, and approximately 30 fine surimono on various subjects.
