About the Item
Yosha Zuko Fuzu
Meiji 33 (1900)
Writer: Kosugi Onson, Imaizumi Teisuke
Publisher: Yoshikawa Hanshichi
The Japanese litters and palanquins are much more than a practical vehicles for transport. They can also be a symbol of wealth and power. Every detail has a special significance. The quality, quantity, color and design of the hand-made embroidered silk fabrics add to the status of the passenger. The number of oxen needed and the hand-painted design of the palanquin and length of the yokes determine social class. Of course, there are man-powered litters as well. In each illustration we see the robe, sashes and hats worn by the carriers all adding to the worth of the patron. Of special significance is the color saffron denoting great extravagance. Each example holds a fascination in the meticulous attention to the smallest addition of a piece of trim and in the way a single knot is tied.
This work illustrates finely made and ornamented covered litters and palanquins to be carried by as many 15 men or several oxen. Every detail and movement is directed by additional staff. Only a very important individual could afford such extravagance.
Woodblock printing flowered in the Edo Period, mid to late 19th century, and is still considered an art form of great precision and beauty. The illustrations of these carts capture both the vitality and life inherent in the images of man, beast and carriage in each color woodblock print. Following the artist sketch, an image is carved into a block of wood. Black inks form the outline of the subject and color inks are applied to specific areas. The woodblock is then pressed to hand-made screened paper which is then hung dry. The entire process of composing a single image can take weeks.

- Samurai: Looking OnLocated in Florham Park, NJSamurai Warriors Meji 33 ( 1900) Woodblocks Original Hand-Color Woodblock printing flowered in the Edo Period in Japan, mid to late 19th century, and is still considered an art form of great precision and beauty. This style captures both the vitality and life inherent to the flower. Following the artist’s sketch, an image is carved into a block of wood to be transferred to paper in the same manner in which a painter applies his art to a canvas. Black inks form the outline of the flower and color inks are applied following nature’s guide. The woodblock is then pressed to hand-made screened paper which is then hung to dry. This lengthy process of composing a single image can take weeks. These images reflect a quality similar to watercolor and graphite resulting in a stunning and life-like portrayal. Samurai were the military nobility of medieval and early-modern Japan. According to translator William Scott Wilson...Category
