About the Item
Surimono is a beautiful color woodcut with white and silver gold embossing, made between 1820 and 1846 by the Japanese artist Yashima Gakutei.
A young woman is squatting on the floor, holding a musical instrument, the favorite subject of the Japanese master.
With a layer of dust, a small hole in the upper margin to the right and some fading, the original print is still in good condition and retains its incredible charm.
Really the surimonos are a genre of Japanese woodblock prints, privately commissioned for special occasions. Being produced in a small edition for a mostly educated audience, surimono were often more experimental in subject matter and treatment, and extravagant in printing technique, than commercial prints.
Good conditions except a minor fading on top and some brushing of paper.
Yashima Gakutei (c. Osaka, 1786 - 1868)
The Japanese artist and poet was a pupil of both Totoya Hokkei and Hokusai, is still today best known for his kyōka poetry and surimono works.
He was the illegitimate son of the samurai, he worked in Osaka, focusing chiefly on woodblock prints called surimono in addition to book illustrations.
Gakutei is noted for the quality in his wood printing works and for his general contributions to the body of ukiyo-e artwork. Specifically, critics have noted his technical prowess and precision, his skill in embossing, Some of his work included a set of five woodblock prints featuring young women performing gagaku, a traditional kind of court music from the Heian period. Gakutei also illustrated an entire book called the Kyōka Suikoden related to the translated Chinese novel Suikoden. Gakutei also created landscapes and seascapes for books which are rare pieces.
