About the Artists
- Toyohara Kunichika (Japanese: ?? ??
30 June 1835 – 1 July 1900) was a ukiyo-e Japanese woodblock print artist. Talented as a child, at about thirteen he became a student of Tokyo's then-leading printmaker, Utagawa Kunisada. His deep appreciation and knowledge of kabuki drama led to his production primarily of yaksha-e, which are woodblock prints of kabuki actors and scenes from popular plays of the time.
An alcoholic and womanizer, Kunichika also portrayed women deemed beautiful (bijinga), contemporary social life, and a few landscapes and historical scenes. He worked successfully in the Edo period and carried those traditions into the Meiji period. To his contemporaries and now to some modern art historians, this has been seen as a significant achievement during a transitional period of great social and political change in Japan's history.
- Shosai Ikkei ????
Shosai Ikkei was a pupil of Hiroshige III. He is best known for views of Tokyo during the transformation into a Western city with stone buildings, steel bridges, railways and steam locomotives. Among these views is a series of comic scenes of life in Edo. For Western collectors these puns are difficult to understand, especially when the comic is connected with a play on different meanings of Japanese words. Laurance P. Roberts (see bibliography) characterizes the woodblock prints by Ikkei Shosai poignantly as "comic scenes of Edo life in the early Meiji era" (Edo meant here as the capital Tokyo).
Ikkei Shosai is said to have designed circa two dozen triptychs. They must be very rare. We have seen only a few and these were surprisingly well made in technical and artistic terms, in my view, better than the two series for which he is famous, 48 Famous Places of Tokyo and 36 Comics of the Famous Places in Tokyo.

Rare Five Japanese Signed Oshi-E Textile Art Panels Meiji Period
Located in Atlanta, GA
On offer is a set of five Japanese textile art panels called Oshi-E circa Meiji Period (1868-1912). This unusual set of panels depict various aspects of daily life in Edo time with beautiful details. Some of these panels are snapshots of the buzzling commercial activities at the marketplace, providing insight into the signages, architecture, costumes and how people interacted within a historical and pictorial context. Other panels depict daily leisure activities such as lounging in the park or visiting friends. The realistic rendering and attention to details are not short of "photographic" quality. From the signage of the shops to the motions and attires of the individual characters, from the hairstyle, small ornaments, down to the facial expression, were all recorded in great details. Each panel was signed with the artist's name Yukihana in Kanji with a red seal.
These panels are unframed and await your custom touch (framing with inner gilt spacer and mat costs about 250-500 depending on the material chosen, see a framed example in the last picture of a single framed panel we have for sale). We offer them for sale individually, but it will be great for a collector to consider the whole set so that they can stay together.
The Oshi-E (also known as kiritori zaiku) is a type of ornamental textile art dated back to the Muromachi period (1392-1573). It started among the elite aristocratic women in Kyoto before spreading wider in the Japanese society. Throughout Edo and Meiji period, Oshi-E were sometimes used to make offerings to the altars in the temple and in the late 19th century, it was exported to the west along with the other embroidery textile art. Oshi-E was made by using silk wadding to create a relief design. Various silk fabric swaps and sometimes wires and tassels, often recycled from older kimonos...
