TSUCHIYA, Koitsu.. MT. FUJI AT DAYLIGHT. A Large Size Color Print..
A BEAUTIFUL VIEW OF MT. FUJI WITH THE LAKE IN FOREGROUND A marvelous look at Mt. Fuji in early light, with a faint tinge of pink on one side, with snow and clouds, the lake is in the foreground, with oe tiny sail boat floating along. The tiny village beneath Fuji is nestled along the lake- lake-side. A nice reflection of the adjacent area & village is seen in the lake. An impressive and magnificient view of Japan's most sacred Symbol. What separates this print from many others of Mt. Fuji is that Koitsu has composed this by putting the main image of mountain just enough off center to the left to give this a more majestic & interesting look. Koitsu, Born in Hamatsu, Shizuoka prefecture [1870-1949], studied with the carver Matsuzaki, who worked for the famous painter and print artist Kobayashi Kiyochika. He then worked with Kiyochika and was published by Watanabe. Koitsu's spec- ialty was landscape prints. His works are comparable to Has- ui and Shinsui's landscapes. Later his works were published by Doi. See A. Stephens ed.: THE NEW WAVE p.110, print #84 for more details. K. Brown: SHIN-HANGA: New Prints in Modern Japan p.70-72,82-83, illustration numbers 70,67,69,91, fig. 90,93 & 111 et al. S.

IKEDA, Terukata.. BIJIN: JAPANESE BEAUTIES THROUGHOUT THE FESTIVAL SEASONS..
A LOVELY PERIOD ALBUM WITH JAPANESE WOMEN AND CHILDREN The complete title can not be read as its written is the "running grass" style or Shosho. Our colleagues in Japan found it most impossible to read, except for the last two characters "Bijin" or Beauties. Thus the work contains a lovely set of 12 views of Japanese women and children during the festivals of the four seasons. This work relfects the "fin-de-secle" feeling. The women and children are nicely clad in beautiful and most colorful Kimono, with elaborate coiffeur, reflective of the late Meiji-early Taisho period. The twelve veiws have a cartouche in the upper right. Subj- ects covered: 1: A woman is seated on a large Zabuton or cushion, along side a Hibachi or brazier, while she awaits the arrival of a friend. 2: Two women sit outside, one drinks tea while they both view the lovely plum blossoms. 3: A teen-age girl plays with her younger sister as she holds a sprig of cherry blossoms, while under a blossoming cherry tree. 4. Spring outing shows a lovely beauty seated on a cloth with two umbrellas while she looks at butterflies. 5: A young woman looks out of a round window on to the blooming iris garden. 6: Rainy day shows the beauty going out with her umbrella. 7: Shows the beauty seated on a balcony with bamboo screens to keep the mosquitos away, she looks wist- fully outside at dusk. 8: Tsuki-Mi or Moon Viewing festival in August, shows a mother and daughter with food offerings on trays and a lovely flower arrangement dedicated to the Gods placed on the Engawa [outer porch], with a moon high in the sky. 9: Omatsuri or summer festival, shows a large Miko- shi or portable shrine is in the background while three beauties observe the festivities from a large platform with lanterns. 10: New Year's offerings, shows a father, mother and daugher who holds a sprig of bamboo with offering poems tied to it as they go out side to celebrate. 11: Shows a serving girl at a Sake shop, others prominade in the back- ground. 12: Shows the last day of the year, the mother is wearing wintery Kimono and a head cover scarf tied around her neck, while her daughter carries New Year's decorations and a kite with a Daruma face, others prominade in the back- ground. A truly lovely work, covering the seasons & festival season in Japan. A good reference book on this period & type of woodblock color prints with examples can be found in Amy Stephens: THE NEW WAVE: 20TH CENTURY JAPANESE PRINTS FROM THE ROBERT O. MULLER COLLECTION. Terukata is also listed in K. Brown: TAISHO CHIC: Japanese Modernity, Nostalgia, & Deco pp.42, 43, 88 for other fine color examples & essays on him. Color scans can be sent by email.
