| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from color slide. Note: Torii Kiyomitsu (1735 - May 11, 1785) was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist. Note: "Benizuri-e (lit. "crimson printed pictures") are a type of "primitive" ukiyo-e style Japanese woodblock prints. They were usually printed in pink (beni) and green, occasionally with the addition of another color, either printed or added by hand. The production of benizuri-e reached its peak in the early 1740s."--Wikipedia. Note: "Hosoban: a print size [approximately] 6 x 12 inches (15 x 30 cm)."--Masterworks of Ukiyo-e…by Muneshige Narazaki, English translation by John Bester, page 21. Note: Original caption information provided as: "Hosoban Beni-zuri-e, early 1760's Pub. Iwatoay, Torri Kiyomitso, Japan" Note: Appears to be similar to image with File Name: block_print_bath_009. |
