About the Item
A pair of Japanese Woodblocks each in a fine custom matted frame with fine ebony and gilt decorations. Each signed and dated on the reverse. Listed below.
-A courtyard lady in a commercial robe. By: Chikanobu Printed 1893
-Three court ladies in a ceremonial robe. By: Chikanobu Printed 1896
Toyohara Chikanobu (Yoshu Chikanobu) 1838 - 1912
It is tempting to call Chikanobu the ‘lost artist of the Meiji’. In a sense that assessment is true; Chikanobu was a very fine maker of woodblock prints who, with his contemporaries Yoshitoshi and Kunichika, documented the cultural struggle of the emergent Japan of the modern era. As a young man, Chikanobu was a student of the great ukiyo-e artists, Kuniyoshi, Kunisada and Kunichika, although he didn’t become a serious artist until later in his career.
Biographically, perhaps more than any artist, Chikanobu experienced the changing politics of Japan in the late nineteenth century. Like French impressionist artists such as Degas and Manet, who manned the barricades in the siege of Paris in 1870, Chikanobu saw action fighting on the side of the defeated Tokugawa Shogunate against the modernising and reinstated Emperor's forces at the battle of Hakodate in 1868.

-Three Courtman drinking sake and admiring the full moon, 1788-1861

Utagawa Kuniyoshi 1798 - 1861
The vogue for full-body tattoos of interlaced characters, animals and fish, the full arms and backs that writhe with complex figures and designs can be directly traced not only in their drawing but in their conception to the Japanese woodblock artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi. It was he, whilst trying to establish a flagging career in the 1820’s in Edo (Tokyo) Japan, that conceived of decorating heroic, supernatural warriors with florid designs to emphasise their toughness and in some part to elaborate on their narrative.
Kuniyoshi was born Yoshisaburo and like Kunisada was apprenticed to the great woodblock artist Toyokuni I at his Utagawa School 1811. Kuniyoshi showed prodigious talent but unlike his colleague Kunisada failed to find commissions and it was not until the late1820’s that he discovered his own style and overnight success with the release of his series of warrior prints...
