Tatsumi Shimura
Apprentice Japanese Geisha (Maiko)

2009

About the Item

A young apprentice geisha from Kyoto poses before a gold leaf screen. She is both alluring and slightly distant at the same time, not an easy balance for an artist to convey. This print was supervised by Tatsunori Shimura, descendent of the artist and was based on a painting by Tatsumi Shimura. Shimura had a long career, working as an illustrator as well as a print designer for bijin-ga (prints of beautiful women). Numbered “HC” (hors commerce) from an limited edition of 99, and printed by Inter Art Company in Japan. This print reads as a painting and was created with the highest quality standards. This work would work especially well in a bedroom, bathroom or dressing area, but it is bold enough for a main room.

  • Japanese Beauties Enjoy a Full Moon
    By Utagawa Kunisada (Toyokuni III)
    Located in Burbank, CA
    "Sun, Moon and Stars". Three beauties enjoy a full moon on the veranda of a teahouse or restuarant. The woman on the left kneels and adjusts her lavishly printed kimono. The beauty in the center has her hair down, and behind her is a screen against which shadows are beautifully silhouetted, which adds an air of mystery. The seated woman on the right is perhaps a geisha, as we see a shamisen lying next to her. Before her is a tray with an assortment of foods. One may surmise that the beauties are being compared to the sun, the moon, and the stars. On the left we glimpse a full moon shining over the peaceful bay, and boats at harbor. Original first edition Japanese color woodblock print triptych...
