Kunisada II Woodblock Triptych "Twilight Snow at Mount Hira", Edo Period, c 1850

About the Item

A fantastic framed Japanese woodblock triptych by Utagawa Kunisada II (Toyokuni IV) entitled "Twilight Snow at Mount HIra" from the series "Eight Views of Omi", Edo period, circa 1850, Japan. The triptych is comprised of three vertical oban sheets featuring a charming snowy winter scene along the frozen marshy shores of Lake Biwa. The Hira mountain range rising up behind the lake, creating a dramatic backdrop. In the foreground, the scene is composed of a pair of women watching over three children as they roll a large ball of snow, presumably to make a snowman, while a pair of white cranes fly overhead. To the side, two gentlemen watch with amusement while leaning against a carriage. All the figures dressed in colorful and elaborate kimono and wearing geta clogs. "Eight Views of Omi" was a well known subject matter first popularized by Utagawa Hiroshige, and expanded upon by a number of ukiyo-e artists, including Utagawa Kunisada II (Toyokuni IV). Oftentimes, historical figures, or characters from fiction, were interposed with the various views. The figures in this print may be related to the Tale of Genji. Utagawa Kunisada II (1823 - 1880), also known as Toyokuni IV and Kunimasa, was Japanese ukiyo-e (woodblock) artist of the late Edo to early Meiji periods. He took the Kunisada name from his father-in-law after marrying into the family. While never as famous as his father-in-law, Utagawa Kunisada, he nonetheless served as head of the Utagawa school and achieved commercial success. Framed in a metallic silver frame with linen mat. Glazed with TruVue acrylic. Provenance: The estate of a University of Texas professor
