| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from color slide. Note: "Otsu-e" refers to popular Japanese folk paintings from the Edo period, and are so named because they were often sold in and around the town of Otsu, between Edo and Kyoto. Done by anonymous artists, and often in a humorous manner, they often showed figures from folklore and religion, but later portrayed secular subjects. Note: "Let it be said that Otsu-e up to the late nineteenth century were folk paintings and did not employ the woodblock medium."--The Floating World by James A. Michener with commentary by Howard A. Link, (The Floating World: Thirty Years Later), page 379. Note: Original caption information provided as: "Flat figure representation: Japan. Otsu-e print Japan" |
