About the Item

Japanese Woodblock Gakutei (1786-1868) by Harunobu Sugawara, original and unframed. ABOUT THE ARTIST Yashima Gakutei (1786-1868) Born in Edo as Harunobu Sugawara, Gakutei Yashima studied printmaking under Shuei and Hokkei. He moved to Osaka in the 1830s, where he designed landscape studies of his new home with a delicate and decorative style likely influenced by Hokusai. In addition to printmaking, he wrote kyoka (comic poems), often illustrating these verses in his prints. While a talented woodblock artist, Gakutei was also known throughout Japan as a writer. He translated and illustrated the 16th century Chinese novel Journey to the West. Gakutei Yashima’s oeuvre consists primarily of surimono. These deluxe, limited-edition prints blend the rich visual imagery of ukiyo-e with the ethereal art of poetry. These works were privately commissioned by poetry societies and prosperous patrons of the arts, often in celebration of the New Year, poetry competitions, and other special occasions. Most surimono were printed with a light verse or clever aphorism and employed the most lavish printing techniques. These marvels of woodblock printing employed the finest handmade papers with generous use of gold, silver, bronze, mica, embossing and lacquer-like effect.

Surimono - Original Woodcut Print by Yashima Gakutei - 1820/1846

By Yashima Gakutei

Located in Roma, IT

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...
