About the Item

About Vestiges of Edo in Tsukuda (Tsukuda ni Nokoru Edo no Omokage) Artist: URBANOWICZ Mateusz Woodcarver: SEKIOKA Senrei III Printer: ITO Tatsuya Year: 2020 Our first original landscape ukiyo-e depicting Tsukuda, a neighborhood next to Tsukishima station in the east of Tokyo. This artwork highlights the striking contrast between the modern architecture and historical elements, that co-exist in harmony in Tsukuda today. The Japanese title Tsukuda ni Nokoru Edo no Omokage translates to “the vestiges of Edo in Tsukuda” - the word omokage (vestige) refers to the river, an aspect of old Edo that has continued to exist to this day, despite the fact that other things may have evolved or disappeared with time. When we trace back the history of ukiyo-e, we can see that there have been many foreign ukiyo-e artists who created important shin-hanga works in the 20th century, such as Paul Jacoulet, Elizabeth Keith, and Noël Nouet. We decided to follow this path in history and welcome Polish artist Mateusz Urbanowicz as the illustrator for this new Tsukuda landscape. Since ukiyo-e are woodblock prints, it is possible to achieve different colour schemes with a single set of woodblocks, by changing the colour of the inks. We used this unique procedure to create 5 versions, all derived from this set of woodblocks, to express the four seasons (spring, summer, autumn, and winter), as well as a version with the outline only. Details Edition: 100 per season and outline Size: Chuban 7.28 x 9.52 inches (18.5 x 24.2 cm) Paper: Echizen Kizuki Housho *Attention - Each work is signed by the artist. - Each work is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. - Once the edition has been fully printed, the same woodblocks will be re-used to hold printing workshops. - Edition numbers will be chosen randomly. - Each piece is created by hand, therefore, they may all have subtle differences in size and colour between them. For this reason, at UKIYO-E PROJECT every print is considered unique, aligned with the Edo period philosophy that each ukiyo-e is an “original” piece of work. - They will be packaged and sent in a specially designed, paper folio. - The artwork is sold unframed.
