The crescent moon shines quietly in the dark sky over the plush Soemoncho district in Osaka. Two maikos (Japanese traditional dancers) and three other people are strolling on a street. Hanging lanterns are lining up in front of the silhouetted restaurants. Lights are coming out from the windows and entrances of the restaurants, casting long shadows on the street. Hasui made a similar design depicting Soemoncho district in 1933. "Hanken shoyu, Baba Nobuhiko" (Copyright by Baba Nobuhiko) K100-BN seal is stamped on the left margin. |
Artist: Shunho (?) Series: Publisher Baba Seizando (actually Baba Nobuhiko). Title or Subject: Souemon-cho, Osaka Signature or Seal: Signature, publisher seal Date or Circa: 1938 (no, 1937!) Paper Size: 16 1/2 x 11 1/4 inches Impression/Color/Condition: Good/Good/Good Description: Good state From Tosh Doi: As for Baba Seizando (?????), this registered seal making company was active from 1945 at least up to 1985/11 when celebrated its 40th anniversary in Tokyo. If this company could be operated under Baba Nobuhiko (????)in Tokyo, I might speculate that Baba Shizuka (?? ?) could be a preceeding founder (father or relative of Nobuhiko) of the company (probably stating in Kyoto) named after his personal name. He passed away in 1936 at his age of 64 at my comprehensive directroy listing as a carver. Baba Nobuhiko was listed as one of consulting members of Japan Woodblock Carver Association (Nihon Mokuhann Kougei Kumiai-"????????") as of 1958/04. I will keep detecting more information on this publisher. |
