About the Item

Antique Japanese Woodblock - English Lady - Meiji Period attributed to Utagawa Kuniteru II Yokohama-e - Yokohama-e are prints depicting foreigners in Yokohama after Japan was opened to trade with the West the 1850s. Previously, Japan had been closed to international trade with only a few strict exceptions, leading to curiosity among the Japanese about the new foreign arrivals and their strange clothing and customs. Many Yokohama-e designs featured people from the "Five Nations," the five countries that signed trade treaties with Japan in 1858: America, England, the Netherlands, Russia, and France. Others were fanciful depictions of foreign cities, often based on Western illustrations rather than direct observation. These prints proved popular, with hundreds of Yokohama-e published between 1859 and about 1880. These wonderful images provide a great look at this historic time period, using the traditional art form of Japanese woodblock prints to record a new subject. Provenance: From the collection of Clemens Merkelbach van Enkhuizen, A well known Dutch painter and artist from Amsterdam. Merkelbach van Enkhuizen lived in one of the canal houses in Amsterdam and was an avid collection of Asian art. Condition Very good condition. SIze 25cm x 18.5 Period 19th century

ABOUT THE ARTIST Yashima Gakutei (1786-1868) Born in Edo as Harunobu Sugawara, Gakutei Yashima studied printmaking under Shuei and Hokkei.

He translated and illustrated the 16th century Chinese novel Journey to the West. Gakutei Yashima’s oeuvre consists primarily of surimono.
