About the Item
Title: Statues of Guardian Deities – Plate VIII, Section VIII
Description: This monochrome lithograph showcases two dynamic and imposing statues of traditional Japanese guardian deities, known as Niō (仁王). These fierce-looking figures are depicted in powerful stances, each exuding strength and vigilance.

The figure on the left appears in a defensive posture with one hand raised in a gesture of warning, while the figure on the right brandishes an arm, suggesting readiness for action. Both statues reflect the classic iconography of Niō, protectors of Buddhist temples, and embodying the balance of fearsome strength and divine guardianship.
Produced by Sampson Low & Co. and printed by Lemercier & Cie, Paris, this lithograph highlights the artistry and cultural significance of traditional Japanese sculptural works.
Condition: Good, with slight foxing on the edges.
Provenance: Published by Sampson Low & Co., printed by Lemercier & Cie, Paris.

Traditional Japanese Woodblock Print by Nishijima Katsuyuki
Located in Weesp, NL
Nishijima Katsuyuki (西島 勝之) is a contemporary Japanese artist known for his woodblock prints, which often depict traditional Japanese architecture and landscapes. Born in 1945 in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, Nishijima studied at the Kyoto Prefecture Art School and began his career as a painter before transitioning to woodblock printing. His works are celebrated for their detailed and vibrant representation of the Japanese countryside and urban scenes.
Nishijima's prints are recognized for their use of bold colors and intricate details. He employs traditional woodblock printing techniques, which involve carving the image into woodblocks, inking the blocks, and then pressing them onto paper. Each color in the print requires a separate block and precise alignment, or registration, to create the final image.
The print's title is "Bunraku" and is one of Nishijima's works that showcase traditional Japanese buildings and scenes. The print features a detailed depiction of a traditional Japanese storefront with a noren...
