Item Details
Description
  • Artis/Title: Antique Print - Takasago Kimonos - No. 1- Hanging Up A Lantern - Ito Shinsui
  • Date: 1931
  • Material: Paper
  • Dimensions: 37 cm x 25 cm
  • Description: A rare pre-war (circa 1931) print of beautiful "bijin" (pretty women) in Takasago-dyed kimonos by artist Ito Shinsui from the series: "100 Figures of Beauties in Takasago Kimonos". Takasago dyeing is a special fabric dyeing process developed in Japan since the 1600s. The print from this series is a machine print or possibly a lithograph, and these are the finest examples of pre-war machine printing. According to the stamp in the lower margin of this print, it was printed using the patented platemaking process of "K.I. Banton'', which was probably advanced technology for the era. This scene is printed on washi paper (contains the usual chain lines) and without close inspection it is difficult to tell that these are not woodblock prints.
