Subject:
The work is a Kuchi-e print by Suzuki Kason. He was an important woodblock printmaker of the Meiji Period. His specialty was kuchi-e prints and illustrations for books. We can feel the influence of the tradition in the print.Kason Suzuki received several prizes at Bunten exhibitions for his painting contributions. Kuchi-e are woodblock-printed frontispiece illustrations produced for publication in Japanese novels and literary magazines at the turn-of-the-century (1895-1912). This print represents a beauty holding hagoita, a japanese battledore under full-moon. |
