| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from color slide. Note: "Isoda Koryūsai (1735-1790?) was a Japanese...artist active from approximately 1764 to 1788...The details of his life are under some dispute."--Wikipedia. Note: "Nishiki-e (lit. "brocade picture") refers to Japanese multi-colored woodblock printing; this technique is used primarily in ukiyo-e. It was invented in the 1760s...Previously, most prints had been in black-and-white, colored by hand, or colored with the addition of one or two color ink blocks. A nishiki-e print is created by carving a separate woodblock for every color, and using them in a stepwise fashion...in order to create a single complete image."--Wikipedia. Note: "Chūban: a print size [approximately] 8 x 11 inches (20 x 28 cm)."--Masterworks of Ukiyo-e…by Muneshige Narazaki, English translation by John Bester, page 21.
