Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japanese Colour-Prints and Their Designers The social fabric in old Japan was one of sharp distinctions. At the upper end of the scale were the Emperor; the kuge, or court nobles; the daimyo, or lords of the two hundred and fifty-one provinces; and the samurai, or hereditary military men, from whom were recruited the officials, priests, and scholars. Between these and the lower classes was an almost immeasurable gulf. Highest among the heimen, or commoners, were the farmers. Below them were the artisans, and still lower were the merchants, innkeepers, servants, and the like; while lowest of all were the eta, or outcasts, a class comprising scavengers, butchers, leather-workers, and others engaged in what were considered degrading occupations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japanese Colour Prints The body of the work is prefaced by tables to facilitate the reading of dated books and prints; an account of the Censorship of Prints a table of the Mon of the Yedo actors during the 18th century; and a table of publishers' trade-marks and seals. These will, it is believed, be of service to collectors, since the information hitherto published on these matters has been meagre and often inaccurate. At the end of the book will be found brief essays on some outstanding problems, and a select list of important books printed in colour. Otherwise we have not concerned ourselves with the books, or with the paintings, by Ukiyoye masters, except when this was necessary to elucidate the text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Color-Prints of Old Japan What are they? Is a question often asked by those looking for the first time at a collection of Japanese prints. To say that they are chromoxylographs, is to give an answer strictly accurate. But as this is more concise than simple, it may be well to say in non-technical, popular language that they are prints in colors from engraved wooden blocks, as many blocks and impressions ordinarily being required as there are colors. In Europe towards the end of the eighteenth century similar prints were produced, but as their reception by the public was not such as to encourage their makers, there was no development of the art comparable with that in Japan in the same century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from 150 Rare Japanese Color Prints: Collected by Professor John Getz, New York City; To Be Sold by His Order, Wednesday Evening, January Fourteenth at Eight-Fifteen It was not until near the close of the seventeenth century that the costly painted scrolls, emanating chiefly from artists of the Mikado's Court, were supplemented by something within the reach of the less wealthy classes. This field was opened up by l\ioronobu with his simple black prints that were sometimes colored by hand. Later came the Urushi-yé or lacquer prints, when lacquer was mixed with the pig ments to give added brilliancy. After these came the first true color prints, done by'masanobu in two colors (red and green), called beni - yé. These were improved upon by Harunobu, who designed his work for more than two color-blocks; under his guidance and that of Shunsho, the art of color printing was brought to perfection.

Download or read book Impressions of Ukiyo Ye written by Dora Amsden and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Impressions of Ukiyo-Ye: The School of the Japanese Colour-Print Artists Tosa has been characterized as the manifestation of ardent faith, through the purity of an ethereal style. Tosa represented the taste of the court of Kyoto, and was relegated to the service of the aristocracy; it reflected the esoteric mystery of Shinto and the hal lowed entourage of the divinely descended Mikado. The ceremonial of the court, its fetes and religious solemnities, - dances attended by daimios, in robes of state falling in full harmonious folds, - were depicted with consummate elegance and delicacy of touch, which betrayed familiarity with the occult methods of Persian miniature painting; The Tosa artists used very fine, pointed brushes, and set off the brilliance of their colouring with resplendent backgrounds in gold leaf and it is to Tosa we owe the intricate designs, almost microscopic in detail, which are to be seen upon the most beautiful specimens of gold lacquer work; and screens, which for richness have never been surpassed.

This book was released on 2013-06-07 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japanese Colour-Prints and Their Designers by Frederick GookinIllustrated in Full ColourIn the annals of art production the colour-prints designed by the master artists of the Ukiyoé school occupy a unique place. They represent a plebeian art which was not a spontaneous upgrowth from the soil, but, so to speak, a down-growth or offshoot from an old and highly developed art of aristocratic lineage. This elder art had its fountain-head in ancient China. That country, during the Tang and the Sung dynasties (618-905, 960-1280), was the seat of an aesthetic movement during which painting and other arts reached an extraordinarily high development. To the works produced during this great flowering-time of art the Japanese painters of the classical schools turned for inspiration and enlightenment. These works were distinguished by singleness of purpose, rhythmic vitality, and synthetic coherence, and by a clear conception of the essential that goes far beyond anything elsewhere attained, and which, when fully apprehended, must inevitably force a revision of Western ideas and criteria. The art of ancient China and of the earlier Japanese schools is an art refined, poetic, and intensive to the last degree. It is based upon profound understanding of aesthetic laws. The artists were carefully grounded in the fundamental principles that govern all art, whether Oriental or Occidental. The result of this training is apparent in the homogeneity of their works. In Europe very confused notions have prevailed as to what should be done and what is permissible in art. Not even the great artists have always seen clearly; had they done so, it cannot be doubted that Western achievement would have attained a much higher level than it has ever reached. In the Japanese modifications of the ancient Chinese art its traditions [pg 4] and aesthetic ideals were sedulously preserved. With only rare exceptions, the artists—and under this head it is necessary to include potters, lacquerers, metal-workers, swordsmiths, and others—were drawn from the upper classes. Many of them were in the service of the daimyo, and did not sell their productions, but received from their noble patrons regular stipends in koku of rice. Seldom did any of their works find their way into the hands of the common people, who had little opportunity, therefore, to become familiar with them. Gradually, however, as the number of paintings, statues, and other art objects multiplied and the temples were filled with votive offerings, the classical art made its impress upon buildings, wearing apparel, and utensils of all sorts; its conventions and principles were laid hold of by all classes and became the heritage of the entire people.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Catalogue of the Noteworthy Collection of Japanese Color Prints, the Property of Mr. Judson D. Metzgar of Moline, Illinois: To Be Sold at Unrestricted Public Sale on the Dates Herein Stated Late fruits though Japanese prints are of the great tradition of Asian art they preserve, to an extent sufficiently striking for Western minds, the ancient Asian cannon of ideality as distinguished from realism. One may even at first sight view them with an aggrieved feeling that no man should pretend to be an artist if he draws the human figure as inaccurately as do these designers. But eventually one realizes that to draw the human figure accurately was the very last thing these artists cared about. And gradually the wisdom of Asia may come to us, and we shall understand that it is the spiritual impact of reality on the artist's emotion, not his scientific observation of reality, that is his chosen and proper theme.
