Itchô HANABUSA

Gunchô Gaei. Manga Zukô

Kinzan-dô 1769 (le 3ème jour du 3ème mois de la 6ème année de l'ère Meiwa, 1764-1772) possible retirage du XIXe s., 17,6x25,8cm, broché.

Rare suite of woodcuts by Itchô Hanabusa (英一蝶) on Japanese folk tales, printed in black ink. Only one volume of a three-volume set, possible 19th-century reprint.
Bound in Japanese style, pages bound by a seam, blue soft cover with title label, folds, small stains and lacks of blue paper to corners, ink stain in title piece not affecting the text.
Itchô Hanabusa was part of the Kanō school and studied under Kanō Yasunobu, however he rejected this training to become a renowned painter and calligrapher.
Illustrations of Japanese legends with genre scenes, animals and flowers. The technique of Ukiyo-e, or Japanese printmaking, is very close to the original drawing, since the ink drawing was affixed to a piece of wood that the engraver carved out, precisely following the lines of the drawing, itself destroyed in the process.
Japanese bookplate, stamped in red ink.
