Note: Information for this image can also be found on Metropolitan Museum of Art website. http://www.metmuseum.org/Collections/search-the-collections/60010193 Note: "Surimono are a genre of Japanese woodblock print. They were privately commissioned for special occasions such as the New Year. Surimono literally means "printed thing". Being produced in small numbers for a mostly educated audience of literati, surimono were often more experimental in subject matter and treatment, and extravagant in printing technique, than commercial prints. They were most popular from the 1790s to the 1830s, and many leading artists produced them."--Wikipedia. Note:"...kirazuri or 'mica printing', whereby mica powder has been printed with glue onto areas of the print using a woodblock."--Victoria and Albert Museum website. Note: Original caption information provided as: "Danjura VII 1791-1859 Danjura (?) in a Shibaraku role color wood cut with mica and brass dust Jsurimono Japan" |
