Sunday, 10 February 2008 Shin Hanga: Three Girls at Arashiyama Artist: Miki Suizan Format: Dai oban yoko-e: 11" x 16" approx Subject: Three girls enjoying the Cherry blossoms at Arashiyama. Miki Suizan designed bijin-ga prints whose style shows the influence of ukiyo-e portraiture. Born in Hyogo in 1887, he became a pupil of the well known artist Takeuchi Seiho in 1903. Ten years later, he showed nihon-ga paintings in the 7th Bunten of 1913. Around 1924, Miki worked with the Kyoto publisher Sato Shotaro on the design of six bijin-ga and eight landscape prints, carved by Maeda and printed by Oiwa in limited editions of 200. They were likely reprinted in a later unnumbered edition. Suizan's prints were exhibited the following year along with prints by Yoshikawa Kanpo, also published by Sato Shotaro. Prints by both artists were included in the 1930 Toledo exhibition. Publisher: Sato Shotaro Carver: Maeda Date: 1924 Condition: Full size. Very fine state. Colour: Fine Impression: Fine Other Notes: Limitation seal on verso. Estimated Value: £750 - £1000 |
Friday, 4 January 2008 This is a beautiful original woodblock print, by noted shin hanga printmaker Miki Suizan. It is titled "Spring in Arashiyama". Signed lower right and sealed with the artist's red seal. Good color and impression. Condition is basically good for the age, with very minor soiling to the image lower left, and a couple of faint smudges which are only visible upon close inspection. Beautiful bokashi (gradation of color) in the blue of the riverside. Quite often, the pinks of shin hanga prints fade to white over the years; in this example, the pinks are very nice, with no noticeable fading. Ot is oban size, about 11 x 15 1/2 plus small margins as issued (Miki Suizan prints always have two small margins, and two that are trimmed to the edge of the image; I assume that this is because his images are slightly larger than typical oban size prints, and the close trimming is necessary in order to get four prints from one large sheet of mulberry paper.) |
