réf. 39045401Osaka 1856. A large Kawaraban sheet: 49 x 35.4 print: 45.4 x 32.3 black and white woodblock print very clean paper a few old mended holes solid excellent impression with 12 boxed illustrations of prosperous Japanese. OBSCURE EXAMPLE . . . . A FASCINATING LARGE KAWARABAN BROADSIDE POSTER . . . ILLUSTRATING TWELVE BOXES OF JAPANESE CERAMIC FIGURES . . . MADE DURING THE ANSEI PERIOD 1854 . . . WOODBLOCK PRINTED . The title is very hard to read we can only partially read as: CHI.SETOMONO ISSHIKI TSUKURI MONO NO BANDZUKE RANKING LIST OF JAPANESE CERAMIC FIGURES MADE DURING THE ANSEI PERIOD. . The meaning of the title is 'symbolic' which obscures the actual content by lack of a realistic descriptive title. . Nevertheless this Kawaraban illustrates examples of Japanese 'Setomono' ceramics from the period during 1854 the arrival of Commodore Perry to Japan. . Please review the photos posted to our website to get the flavor of the illustrations. . These illustrations are also related to Kabuki or Joruri theater performances. Little is clear about this example. . ANSEI PERIOD EVENTS: The history about Ansei 3rd year. It was a year of disaster in Tokyo area with an earthquake and huge flood. It was also the year that American Admiral Perry visited Japan. In a way the crashing down of Japan's hitherto isolation from the western world was a kind of "Mappo" or revenge of nature on Japan. . Nevertheless this was also a period of great wealth for some Japanese as evidence is illustrated in this Kawaraban broadside print. . It illustrates ten squares with famous & well-known wealthy period. Each depicts some personal attributes with background texts of identification and a likeness drawing. There are men and women depicted. They are shown as elegant people wearing elaborate silk Kimono in some cases. There are military men Samurai warriors mythological 'Gods' archers Tengu young men reading a scroll flute player who is being ambushed a woman that brings forth "Koban" gold coins from tree trunk rat eating a scroll & being beat by the master horse-back Samurai-archers and the like. . About "TENGU" Often called "Heavenly Dog" or "Heavenly Sentinel" are a type of legendary creature found in Japanese folk religion. They are considered a type of Yokai supernatural beings or Shinto Kami gods. . Although they take their name from a dog-like Chinese demon Tiangou the Tengu were originally thought to take the forms of birds of prey and they are traditionally depicted with both human and avian characteristics. The earliest Tengu were pictured with beaks but this feature has often been humanized as an unnaturally long nose which today is widely considered the tango's defining characteristic in the popular imagination. They are also thought to have been influenced by the Garuda. . Buddhism long held that the Tengu were disruptive demons and harbingers of war. . There is a publisher's colophon in the right margin half is trimmed off some Kanji hard to read; in the left margin a date colophon at the top margin is another seal. . UNUSUAL SUBJECT: This print represents a very unique and seldom found subject matter. The Japanese are loath to talk about wealth because of the superstitious saying "Bachi Attaru" "hit with bad luck". Since this Kawaraban is not specifically boasting personal wealth it is merely about other people's wealth or good fortune. . A final point being printed and from Osaka known for its highly 'mercantile' attitudes and philosophy of "making money" it's entirely fits in with Osaka pathos and preoccupations since Edo period 1604-1912. . CONDITION: The work is printed on a single Deluxe & large Kawaraban with mild center fold neatly period re-backed there is a bit of the usual surface dusty otherwise clean. There are a few old and tiny mended worm holes else a very solid and obscure example. Each box is about 10.35 x 8 cm. with excellent impression black ink on white Washi paper. Suitable for framing and display. . Color scans are posted to our website. . REFERENCES: . Ansei Period: see wikipedia-org during the Ansei period. TENGU: see wikipedia-org KOBAN: ditto above regarding an old Japanese gold coin. . . unknown
