Item Details

Description

Two complete 16-page books of woodblock prints by Kitao Shigemasa--it is unusual to find them complete. His prints are quite rare and often unsigned. These books are absolutely Shigemasa—compare the Kingfisher print in the first volume to the print found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitao_Shigemasa#/media/File:SHIGEMASA,_KITAO_(1739-1820).jpg. Shigemasa is one of the two true inspirations for the manner and style of Utamaro. He was one of the leading Ukiyoe artists. Books are on rice paper with worm holes on all pages. Woodblock colored prints of flowers and birds (end pages flowers only). Evidence of child markings on inside of covers which do not detract from the overall beauty of the prints. Covers are typically worn with string binding holding but coming undone. Labels missing from both covers. An extremely scarce find.
