‎Hiroshige: One Hundred Famous Views of Edo‎

‎New York: George Braziller Incorporated 1986. 1st. Hardcover. Fair/Good. 256 pages. Hardcover with dust jacket. Clean tight copy. Color pictures throughout. landscapes. Hiroshige's One Hundred Famous Views of Edo actually composed of 118 splendid woodblock landscape and genre scenes of mid-nineteenth century Tokyo is one of the greatest achievements of Japanese art. The series contains many of Hiroshige's best-loved and most extraordinary prints. Like Venice and Florence in the 14th and 15th centuries or Paris in the age of the Impressionists the city of Edo with its superb landmarks and its festive display of elegant urban life exerts a special and compelling fascination. Hiroshige revealed the panorama of his city's activities with subtle and vivid visual anecdotes: fireworks seen from the river fashionable geishas on parade the kabuki district at night intimate moments in the gardens and teahouses. It is a tour de force of artistic vision and printmaking craftsmanship. This edition has been reproduced from an exceptionally fine first-edition set in the Brooklyn Museum of Art to insure maximum fidelity to the original prints. Henry Smith ex-plains the world of Edo in its twilight before the Meiji Restoration and the beginnings of a modern urban society. Each plate is accompanied by a commentary that discusses its artistic and cultural interest in detail. For anyone interested in Japan the One Hundred Famous Views of Edo is perhaps the finest guide and one of the greatest legacies imaginable. Record # 369104 George Braziller Incorporated hardcover‎

In 1832-4 TenpÅ 3-4 he produced a series of ten illustrations of fish with accompanying culinary herbs and vegetables together with poems published by Eijudo. A decade later a series of a further ten illustrations were produced by Yamasho. The illustrations were then reproduced commercially bearing publisher and censor stamps. Together the two untitled series are known as "Large Fish" or "Shoal of Fishes" or "Every Variety of Fish". <br /> <br /> The illustrations here are a selection from both series: Carp Koi swimming amongst reeds circa 1840-42 TenpÅ 11-13 poem by Makuzu; Abalone Awabi or Tokobushi Needlefish Sayori and Peach Blossoms circa 1832-3 TenpÅ 3-4 poems by Kumogaki Fujimi and Miwagaki Mimiki; Black Sea Bream Kurodai Small Sea Bream Kodai Asparagus shoots and Japanese Peppercorns Sansho circa 1832-33 TenpÅ 3-4 poems by Tomigaki Uchiyasu and Echigo Kawabukuro Kaôan hôshi Kaôan hôshi from Kawabukuro in Echigo Province; Lobster Ise ebi and Prawn Ama ebi circa 1832-33 TenpÅ 3-4 poems by Shimotsuke Edozaki Ryokujuen Motoari Ryokujuen Motoari from Edozaki in Shimotsuke Province and Nen'an Machikado; Flying fish Tobiuo White Croaker Ishimochi Guchi or Shiroguchi and a lily circa 1840-42 TenpÅ 11-13 poem by Toshigaki Maharu; Gurnard Kanagashira Right-Eye Flounder Konoa-garei and Bamboo Grass Sasa circa 1832-33 TenpÅ 3-4 poems by Shimotsuke Edozaki Ryokujuen Motoari Ryokujuen Motoari from Edozaki in Shimotsuke Province and Jakuyakutei Chikuson; and Japanese Sea Perch Suzuki and Red Bream Kaneme-tai and shiso leaves circa 1840-42 TenpÅ 11-13 poem by Atsugaki. <br /> <br /> To the front paste down is a calligraphic inscription 御ã†ã¤ãã—ã¿ã®æ³¢ Waves of Imperial Beauty by Maresuke Nogi 1859-1912 a Meiji era career military man in the Japanese Imperial Army.

He was also a man of letters and a renowned Kanshi poet a form of Han Chinese poetry popular amongst the Japanese elite during his life. Several of his poems were very popular during the early decades of the Twentieth century. In 1912 Nogi and his wife committed ritual suicide by seppuku shortly after the death of Emperor Meiji in accordance with the samurai practice of following one's master into death. At the time Nogi became a public symbol of loyalty and sacrifice and there are several Shinto shrines to his memory in Tokyo and Kyoto.<br /> <br /> Daikokuya was a multi-generational publisher of ukiyo-e prints illustrations and later illustrated books from 1764-1931 in Edo/Tokyo.

‎Bird's-eye view of Komagata Temple & Azuma Bridge???????? 100 famous Views of Edo ????????‎

‎Tokyo Yuyudo C1930 Une magnifique estampe sur bois reproduisant l'une des célèbres illustrations d'Hiroshige issues de la collection « Cent vues célèbres d'Edo ». Cette estampe représente le temple Komagata-do et le pont Azuma. Publiée à l'origine par Uoei en 1857, cette reproduction est l'uvre de Yuyudo. Bien qu'elle ne porte pas de date, elle date probablement des années 1930. Bien qu'il s'agisse d'une reproduction, il s'agit d'une véritable copie sur bois (et non d'une impression numérique ou lithographique moderne). En excellent état, elle est simplement collée dans un passe-partout, mais peut être retirée pour être encadrée. Le temple Komagata-do est situé sur un terrain triangulaire près du pont Komagata, dans le quartier de Kaminarimon 2-chome, arrondissement de Taito. À l'origine, il s'agissait d'un temple de style entrepôt situé sur les berges de la rivière à Komagata 1-chome, abritant un Bato Kannon (Kannon à tête de cheval). Les habitants d'Edo prononcent le nom du temple Komagata-do « Komando ». L'illustration, peut-être inspirée du célèbre poème de la geisha Takao, « Tu es maintenant près de Komagata, chantant le coucou », représente un coucou volant dans le ciel. La reproduction du ciel pluvieux de mai est magnifique et met en valeur le talent de l'imprimeur. L'image montre le pont Azuma depuis le toit du temple Komagata-do, représentant les maisons sur la rive de la rivière Honjo de l'autre côté. Le mur blanc appartient à la résidence inférieure de Hosokawa Notonokami. Un drapeau rouge est visible au premier plan. Il s'agit du drapeau-enseigne d'un magasin général appelé « Hyakusuke », situé en face du Komagata-do, qui vendait du rouge à lèvres et de la poudre pour le visage. Il était conçu pour être visible de loin, mettant en avant le rouge à lèvres qu'ils vendaient. C'était une enseigne très accrocheuse à l'époque. 34 cm x 23 cm. Le passe-partout mesure 49 cm x 34 cm.‎

‎A beautiful woodblock print reproducing one of Hiroshige's famous illustrations from the collection "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo." This print shows Komagata-do Temple and Azuma Bridge. Originally published by Uoei, 1857, this reproduction is by Yuyudo. Although undated, it is likely from the 1930's. Although a reproduction, it is a genuine woodblock copy (not a modern digital or lithographic print). In excellent clean condition, it is loosely tipped into a card folder / passe partout, but can be removed for framing. Komagata-do Temple is located in the triangular plot of land near Komagata Bridge in Kaminarimon 2-chome, Taito Ward. Originally, it was a storehouse-style temple located on the riverbank in Komagata 1-chome, enshrining a Bato Kannon (Horse-Headed Kannon). Edoites pronounce Komagata-do Temple as "Komando." The illustration, perhaps inspired by the famous poem by the geisha Takao, "You are now near Komagata, singing the cuckoo," depicts a cuckoo flying in the sky. The print of the rainy May sky is magnificent, showcasing the skill of the printer. The picture shows Azuma Bridge from the roof of Komagata-do Temple, depicting houses on the Honjo riverbank on the other side. The white wall belongs to the lower residence of Hosokawa Notonokami. A red flag is visible in the foreground. This is the signboard flag of a general store called "Hyakusuke" located across the street from Komagata-do, which sold rouge and face powder. It was designed to be visible from a distance, featuring the rouge they sold. It was a very eye-catching signboard at the time. 34cm x 23cm. Passe partout is 49cm x 34cm. .‎
