"Various Himochi" Wagashi Festival Japanese Woodblock Print by Utagawa Toyokuni Rare oversized early 19th century 5-tiered woodblock by Utagawa Ichiyosai Toyokuni, (Japan, 1769-1825), a Japanese lord and wife oversee a sekku festival of food, music, and dolls or toys. '"oshi" is the first day of “Mi (Snake)” in the third month of the lunar calendar. This day, known in modern Japan as the Girls' Festival, originated in China as a form of purification ceremony in which water and drinking peach blossom wine were used to drive away evil. Many kinds of hishi-mochi appear in this picture of hina ningyo (dolls associated with Hinamatsuri, or the Girl’s Day) from Omochae. The custom of eating special dishes at events throughout the year and at milestones in people's lives has existed since ancient times. This paragraph specifically focuses on the annual event called sekku, and life events that involve eating sweets. Joshi is the first day of “Mi (Snake)” in the third month of the lunar calendar. This day, known in modern Japan as the Girls' Festival, originated in China as a form of purification ceremony in which water and drinking peach blossom wine were used to drive away evil. According to the Keiso saijiki, in ancient China, on the third day of the third lunar month, people ate “ryuzetsuhan,” which is the juice of gogyo (Jersey cudweed) mixed with rice flour and nectar. In Japan, there is a record in the Heian period history book Nihon Montoku tenno jitsuroku [839-5] that it was an annual event to make kusamochi using gogyo on the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar, which may have been influenced by Chinese customs. The tradition of eating kusamochi on the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar continued after that. By the Edo period, however, hishimochi had come to be used as a sweet to serve on the third day of the third month. A picture of a hishimochi is included in the Morisada manko , which we mentioned in Part 1. According to it, hishimochi in the Edo period were often three layers of green-white-green instead of the now common red-white-green. However, it is possible to see from our collection that not all hishimochi were made in this way. Omochae published in 1857, is a good example. Omochae is a type of ukiyoe print...

Wipe Out - Surfing Art - Figurative - Woodcut Print By Marc Zimmerman Limited Edition 01/04 more colorways available This masterwork is exhibited in the Zimmerman Gallery, Carmel C...

This screenprint, Cultured Woman – Tokyo, is a sharp, knowing example of Art Hazelwood’s satirical voice—stylish, unsettling, and quietly biting. The elongated female figure dominates the composition, her body exaggerated into a narrow vertical column that reads as both fashionable and faintly grotesque. Her pose is elegant yet strained, chin lifted, gaze distant, projecting confidence that borders on caricature. Hazelwood’s line work is incisive and deliberate. The woman’s clothing—fur-trimmed coat, patterned dress, high boots—signals cosmopolitan sophistication, while the acid clarity of her facial features undermines any straightforward glamour. Makeup becomes mask-like; refinement tips into artifice. The palette is cool and controlled, reinforcing a sense of emotional remove beneath the polished surface. At her feet, the small dog functions as a critical counterpoint. It echoes her presence while subtly mocking it, grounding the image in Hazelwood’s characteristic irony. The pairing suggests themes of status, performance, and cultural self-consciousness, with Tokyo serving less as a literal place than as a symbol of globalized style and curated identity. Like much of Hazelwood’s work, the print resists easy judgment. It is neither cruel nor celebratory, but observant—a portrait of modern sophistication rendered with wit, skepticism, and a razor-edged sense of humor. Signed and numbered color woodcut from the edition of 15. Modern woman in Tokyo; signed and titled edition of 15. Art Hazelwood calls himself artist, instigator and impresario to define the three intertwining areas of his practice. He uses printmaking within a range of political allegory and satire making work from political posters to fine press edition artist books. He has curated and organized a range of exhibitions at venues from museums to immigrant centers. He has worked for over 20 years with homeless rights groups; creating prints, and street posters, and has authored one book and contributed to another on art and homelessness.
