20/12/2004 Combing the Hair “Kamisuki”, 1933 The Ishukankokai Edition of Kotondo Beauties-With the permission of Kotondo’s heirs, a small commemorative run of his prints were produced by the Ishukankokai publishers in the early 1980’s. This commemorative edition was limited to 100 pieces- a very small run. The Ishukankokai prints are also very rare today. But, they offer an opportunity to collect a Kotondo woodblock at a cost in line with most collectors’ budgets. These commemorative prints were produced to the same exacting standard of the Kotondo first edition prints. Expert carvers were contracted to produce the highest quality wood blocks and printers meticulously printed Kotondo’s designs with the same attention to quality and detail. These reprints are on beautiful, hand made paper. The prints offered tonight in our auctions are from one of the Ishukankokai editions. This Print; Combing the Hair “Kamisuki”- A beautiful Kotonodo print and masterwork from his bijin designs. This lovely image of a woman, in a private moment, combing her hair is a classic print from the shin-hanga tradition. Beautiful color and fine detail. The gold ring on her left hand treated with a shimmering mica power as was the first edition print, great detail. A shin-hanga masterwork and a Japanese woodblock print treasure that would be a fine addition to any collection. With original presentation folder- Each print is being sold with its original presentation folder. The prints are stored in a beautiful inner folder with paper surround and protective liner and a heavy outer folder with subject and series titles in Japanese. See example photo below for the type of folders you will get with your print. Signed- Kotondo, with artist’s seal Publisher, printer and carver seals- Red “moneybag” seal of the publisher Ishukankokai, name seal of carver and printer, watermark of publisher (all in margin as shown) Image size- 10 1/4" x 16 1/2" (+ full margins) Sheet size- 13" x 19" (Large woodblock print size) Condition- Absolutely perfect condition with no flaws to note. Excellent color, no fading, fine linework. This print has been stored only, never framed. |
