Summer kimono with iris pattern Signed: Kotondo ga Size: 47,6 x 29,4 cm Publisher: Ikeda Shoten Date: 1930 From: http://www.nihon-no-hanga.nl/collectiondetail/650/Torii_Kotondo_(1900-1976)/ |
This is a rare and very interesting trial print by Kotondo and Ikeda's printers. Note the colour changes (red hair pin), later recarving of the blocks or a change in printing order (iris flowers are more solid on this print) and the addition of dating ?? (early summer 1931). The blue obi (instead of green) and plain coloured hair comb (instead of yellow) appear to be the result of fading (see the original greens in the fan at bottom right). Kotondo yellows are known to be fugitive. A big thank you to Willie for this image. |

This is one of the many examples that has no edition number and no scene number hand-written on the verso cartouche. The print has a seal on the back and text on the front below the picture. More Text is in the top left just like the one on your web site. The size of the print is 12 x 19 however, the framer must have cut at least 1/2 inch off the top and clipped the top left corner as is depicted in the picture I am sending in the next email to you. I had it framed many years ago with no knowledge of any worth of the print or I would have been very careful about who was framing it. Thank you Peggy |
