Best.-Nr. 1107625 finely color-printed double-page woodcuts. 25.5; 15; 21.5 folding leaves. Three vols. 8vo orig. semi-stiff wrappers orig. block-printed title-slips on upper covers new stitching. Edo: 1853-54. First edition of this finely illustrated book which rarely appears complete in all three volumes. The “KyÅka Edo Hanabi SenryÅ has sub-titles that show the sort of specialization that was associated with the three leading Utagawa artists. Volume One by Hiroshige entitled ‘Nihonbashi Section’ consists mainly of views of central Edo figures in some prints threading their way through the hanging curtains of calligraphy showing the second floor of a brothel; Volume Two by Kuniyoshi related to the ‘licensed quarter’; and Volume Three by Kunisada = Toyokuni san sei to ‘theatre-land’.”–Hillier The Art of the Japanese Book p. 848 & image 559. At the time of publication these three members of the Utagawa school were at the pinnacles of their careers. The color-printed illustrations depict the fish markets of Nihonbashi the pleasure quarter of Yoshiwara and the backstage preparations in a kabuki theater. The witty and humorous kyÅka poetry appears with the images. Fine and fresh set preserved in an attractive modern chitsu. In the first volume the first 13 leaves have a wormhole maximum 50 mm. in length and becoming shorter as one progresses. This wormhole expertly repaired throughout is present in the woodcuts. unknown

Best.-Nr. 99001601Edo 1891. A brocade silk covered album Oban size all edge gilt with a total of 65 fine color prints including 2 title pages and one dedication print book size 24.5 x 35.5 cm. 4.15 cm. thick. A stunning group of his most famous prints well represented. Hiroshige II 1826-1869 and III 1843-1894 were one in the same a pupil of the most famous & great Ando Hiroshige. Using his master's name plus his old name Ichiryusai he was the adopted son of Hiroshige I and was a very skilled painter who actually painted along side & with the master until his master's death in 1858. After that Ichiryusai specialized in railroad prints depicting these new innovations recently imported from the West around Yokohama as well as issuing many series of beautiful prints. In his later years he executed a most beautiful and exquisite set of his own interpretation of his master's most well-known series of prints showing Mt. Fuji & the celebrat- ed places around Edo. This was not done to merely copy the master's works but rather as a sincere Confucian tribute to his adopted father & now father-in-law and master. He took each of the master's views & repainted them in pastel colors with great control & precision. Some of the more delicate places such as rainbows and clouds behind a flock of birds were actually brushed on by hand a technique rarely ever done. The wood blocks used were of the highest quality a majority of which were center cuts & these have left a most beautiful wood-pattern in the print. This example shows 28 prints from the Fuji Sanju Rokkei and 35 from the Edo Yonju Hakkei series with the title page from each present. There is a dedcation & memorial print to Hiroshige I from his fai- thful son and pupil. This print is most similar to one found as the frontispiece to the book by E. F. Strange: THE COLOR PRINTS OF HIROSHIGE London 1925.Its clear that this print by Kunisada who is Toyokuni I was used as a model by Ichi- ryusai as it differs in what the master is holding.Kunisada shows him holding his rosary beads while Ichiryusai shows the master with his Fude brush pen and paper in hand.Ichi- ryusai and Kunisada had collaborated to issue a series of 36 prints:EDO JIMAN or THRIY-SIX PLACES OF WHICH YEDO IS PROUD. Ichiryusai has taken much care to represent the most wonder- ful views of Fuji & Edo with great skill.A majority of these prints are certainly well-known to the art world at large as well as to Japanese print collectors.Many of these prints prints show up in the usual references. Some of the more famous Edo views are showing a falcon in winter rain on the river bridgestorks cat view in Asakusabusy street scenes Asakasa temple & lantern in snow river scenes &c.
