Kitano TSUNETOMI: The heroine Umekawa (aka. "Woman in Snow")

Description

Artist: Kitano TSUNETOMI

Title:The heroine Umekawa (aka. "Woman in Snow")

Publisher:Self-published

Date:1923 (this impression)

Medium:woodblock print

Size/Format:dai oban (c. 17 3/4" x 11 3/8")

Description:This design is almost an exaggerated example of an okubi-e ('large bust picture'), the head completely filling the picture plane. The print shows a number of elaborate printing highlights, such as a white 'mica' background. Silver mica was applied to depict the hairpin and details of the purple garment. The snowflakes are depicted in 'gofun' (an opaque white pigment, often - as here - splashed on the print to imitate effects such as snow in a three-dimensional manner). - Now RARE.

Condition:EXCELLENT impression and color; faint toning to reverse only, else in fine overall condition. - A work with striking technical highlights.
