Best.-Nr. 98166101Japan n.d. ca 1830. A superb scroll painting on silk 39.5 cm. wide by 233 cm. long painting size: 29.5 x 185cm. fine mounting pale silk chrysanthemum patterned border flawless flawless excellent pastel colors excellent condition.RARE! THIS IS A GREAT AND STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL HAND-PAINTED SCROLL THE SUBJECT: Kato Kiyomasa 1562-1611 was the son of Kiyotada a relative of Hideyoshi Toyotomi and served him and distinguished himself as one of the seven most famous warriors of that time by his heroic acts at the Battle of Shizugadatake. . During the invasion of Korea he followed Yukinaga Konishi -1600 to Pusan and on to Seoul in 1592 where he fought so fiercely that the Koreans named him "Devil Kiyomasa." Yukinaga was a Christian warrior & retainer of Hideie Ukita and was appointed Lord of Settsu by Hideyoshi Toyotomi. . Hideyoshi appointed these two to spearhead the Korean invasion with Yukinaga the commander. The plan was to launch waves of army corps by ship across the 56 mile wide Tsushima straits to Pusan. Some 300000 fighting men a truly serious force embarked. The first force of 9200 Samurai armed with matchlocks bows and swords set out. Upon landing they rapidly advanced North up the peninsula taking out Korean castles and subduing the regions through power of force. They advanced to Seoul as the armies divided into two parts each racing to see who would enter Seoul first. . At Cho-ryung pass they united then both advanced on Seoul & took the castle as the Korean King and his entourage fled over the river at Imjin where the Koreans up their valiant effort to check the Japanese. This is a most magnificent painting of both Kiyomasa and Yukinaga as each holds a Naginada while the Korean King prepares to rides a black steed effecting his escape while being protected by a retainer who also holds an elaborate Naganada with the Imperial banner. THE ARTIST AND PAINTING SCHOOL: . This work was done in the Utagawa school style and was likely painted by Utagawa Kuniyoshi or one of his star pupils. It was painted in the "Ukiyo-e" style similar to that of a color woodblock print. . It is painted in a firm solid confident strong hand this work is executed with most impressive brush strokes style & manner expressing the Bushido spirit celebrating triumph over the Koreans. Marvelous detail to the whole work renders this a major piece. Skillfully drawn & painted on silk which is the most difficult medium to control ink flow this work is flawless and a fine example worthy of display in any Tokunoma. . The top is blue paper with black Sumi inscription naming the heroes and citing the Korean Battle. REFERENCE: For biographical details see JAPAN BIOGRAPHICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA & WHO'S WHO pp.592 689-90. .

Best.-Nr. 21159501Japan 1826 n.p. Blue stitched wrs. very good 6 vol.set Chuban or 12 x 18 cm. very good 111 double folded leaves 23 b.w. illustrations many are hand tinted around the genit- alia wood block printed on hand-made paper minor old worm damage but properly mended. This set was likely illustrated by a very skilled Utagawa Kuniyoshi school artist. Since it was common for artists not to sign erotic book one can not know the exact artist name. The lavishly illustrated text is a good example of a skillful hand and illustrator. While there is no colophon which is also usual for erotic books a cyclical date is found in volume one for 1826. The story seems to be about Tokuseru a girl who has various affairs with several lovers. In one illustration she is shown asle- ep in a dream-state with an image floating above her. In this she is with her favorite lover Tokushichi who is making love to her. She is shown sleeping with her hand on an erotic book with Chirishi paper to wipe the aftermath of love-making while her cat looks on. She has been stimu- lated by looking at the erotic book and then her lover appe- ared in her dream. Another shows her being raped in the river by two boat boatman. Others show her with her favorite Tokushichi and other lovers. In one very dark midnight scene she is found making love to her lover while an unin- vited guest stumbles into their room by error. Contained in a period paper covered slipcase. unknown
