Friday, 27 April 2007 This is a rare original Japanese woodblock print by noted shin hanga printmaker Koji (sometimes known as "Koko") Takane. Published in the 1930s by Daireisha. Takane did very few prints, and this one, "Cuckoo" is far and away the most famous. Always rare and difficult to find. Oban size, about 15 x 9 1/2 or so plus margins. Condition is very nice. The image is excellent, with no problems to note. Stunning color, very nice impression. Highly regarded by collectors of shin hanga bijin images because of its superb printing techniques: bokashi (shading), gauffrage (embossing), and burnishing of the black areas of the girl's hair. Really a standout image! |
Monday, 28 March 2005 Sosaku Hanga: The Call of The Cuckoo Artist: Takane Format: Oban tate-e: 15.75" x 10.5" Subject: The half-length portrait of a bijin against a paper lantern adjusting her hair-pin and hearing the distant call of a Cuckoo. The portable paper framed lanterns are called andon. They are noted for the elegance and simplicity of their angular design. The wood framed light chamber conceals an oil dish. The paper diffuses the light created within to soften the harshness of the bare flame. It is believed that the advent of the shoji (papered covered sliding doors) in Japanese interiors was an epochal event in the development of Japanese lighting. Publisher: Daireisha Date: c. 1950 Condition: Very slightly trimmed. Some light creases. Minor soils, edge damages, marks and flaws. Generally good state. Colour: Fine colors. Impression: Very Fine. Splendidly executed bokashi (gradation of colors) shading to lantern, face/hand, kimono's colors, and background; extensive gauffrage to kimono's brown area; some "burnishing" to lower hair area; highly detailed carving of individual hair Estimated Value: ?300 - ?4 |
