It is a brilliant example of Hokusai's ability to create visual narrative by capturing the moment which evokes the character most perfectly to the viewer. In an older clasped chitsu case. unknown

18861886Tokio, 1886. 1 volume in-folio ((46,3 x 31,5 cm), broché cousu à la japonaise le tout sur papier du Japon, couverture illustrée. Album de 31 PLANCHES DE DESSINS GRAVÉS SUR CUIVRE dont 2 gravés sur les plats de la couverture : L'étudiant, écoliers, officier, soldat, matelot, fonctionnaire, jeune garçon lisant, Bonzes, agent de Police, servante, facteur,d eux femmes jouant au volant, une femme coiffant une autre, une lavandière, marchand de remèdes, pêcheur à la ligne, marchand de Puéta, cuisinière, cheval de bât, etc. - NOTICE HISTORIQUE : Georges Bigot (1860-1927) est formé à Paris au moment de l’essor du « Japonisme » dans les arts graphiques. Suite à l’ouverture du Japon au commerce extérieur, les années 1870 voient en effet arriver en France de nombreux objets d’art japonais, en particulier les « Manga » (ou carnets de croquis) d’Hokusai (1760–1849). D’Hokusai, les artistes français copient les scènes de vie gravées sur le vif, très expressives, et le traitement de la faune et la flore à la façon des estampes japonaises. Bigot arrive au Japon en 1882 et s’installe à Tokyo, avec la volonté délibérée de ne pas vivre dans les enclaves étrangères mais au sein du petit peuple de la ville. En 1886, il tire de cette expérience une série intitulée « Croquis Japonais » mettant en scène des personnages aux traits individualisés dans la vie quotidienne de ce début de l’ère Meiji (1868-1912). Il observe cette société japonaise bouillonnante et en publie caricatures et périodiques satiriques. Cette ère nouvelle a transformé le Japon, jusque-là régi par un régime féodal, l'a ouvert aux étrangers et introduit de grands changements. Bigot refusant la vision idéalisée d'un Japon, en marche vers le modernisme, se heurte aux tracasseries d'un gouvernement japonais de plus en plus nationaliste, qui le contraindra à partir en 1899, quelques semaines avant la suppression des concessions étrangères. Ses publications sont finalement interdites à la vente dès 1900, tandis qu'en France il s'est tout simplement fait oublier. Les nombreux albums de caricatures et les différents périodiques qu'il laissera derrière lui vaudront bien des années plus tard d'être reconnu comme le « caricaturiste de l'ère Meiji ». Il est considéré par la jeune génération de dessinateur de Manga, comme un des pères de ce genre. - L'ALBUM : Bigot utilise ici une technique typiquement occidentale, l’eau-forte (façon de graver le métal en y faisant pénétrer de l’acide), qu’il imprime en noir et blanc, à l’opposé des estampes japonaises gravées sur bois et si colorées.

1845186060Edo: Yamashiroya Sahee and 4 others 1845. An ancient Chinese war for early modern Japanese readers First complete edition. This historical novel is a semi-fictional retelling of the Chu-Han Contention with depictions of peasant massacres put alongside fantastical scenarios of heroes fighting giant snakes and dragons. Hokusai illustrated this work in the final years of his life displaying the full range of the expressive skills he had honed for decades. After the fall of the Qin dynasty in 206 BC the empire split into 18 kingdoms the most powerful of which were the Western Chu led by Xiang Yu and the Han led by Liu Bang. The two rivals fought over four years culminating in a last stand at the Battle of Gaixia where the Chu leader committed suicide after a total Han victory. These legendary warriors and their battles were immortalized through literature including the Chinese work Xihan tongsu yanyi. This present work is Tamenaga Shunsui's 1790-1844 translation of that novel for the Japanese market with Hokusai's illustrations "providing an appealing vision of a foreign country unknown to readers" Marks p. 195. It is a blend of history and fiction where the real figures of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang perform semi-mythical acts of bravery and strength. One notably gory scene shows Xiang Yu's men killing 5000 peasants loyal to the Qin dynasty. The soldiers on the left behead two captives while their fellow soldiers shovel an overwhelming number of heads into baskets to be carried away. Part 1 the first ten volumes was initially released in 1843. It was then followed by Part 2 in a further ten volumes two years later. At this time the first part was also reissued as was likely the case with this set. It has a variant colophon with Yamashiroya listed as the most important publisher. Other copies instead rank Chojiya Heibee first. 2 parts in 20 vols octavo. Woodblock illustrations throughout; text in Japanese inner wrapper title pages of vols I and XI printed on yellow paper.

187883797Nagoya: Toshiro Katano 1878. Fine. Toshiro Katano Nagoya 1878 15.50 x 22.70 cm cousu Rare edition in second printing which can be translated under the title Hokusai Sketches volume 9. 15 volumes were indeed published covering Hokusai's work. The first was published in 1814 and the last posthumously in 1878. The final volume is considered apocryphal by some art historians. The volume contains approximately 40 subjects most on double pages in black grey and flesh tones. It is essential to add that one cannot determine with certainty whether this is the first printing or a later printing because on this subject there was no difference for the Japanese and the publisher reprinted volumes as needed the notion of first printing not being relevant with regard to Japanese books. We know however that the publisher made a second printing of this book between 1828 and 1878. The later printings do not have the same publisher's name and often possess a date which is not the case with the earlier printings. Accordion-fold volume bound by stitching. Grey diamond-patterned cover with title label and writing in red on white background. Very good copy quite fresh. The Hokusai manga treat varied subjects scenes from daily life but also warrior scenes also scenes of typically Japanese legends animals and flowers and landscapes animated or not notably Mount Fuji. It is generally considered that after a period of intense production Hokusai very carefully selected his sketches and even redrew a certain number of them arranging them according to the order we know today. However Michener maintains that the layout of the different sketches on a given plate was actually decided by the engravers and publishers and not by Hokusai himself. We should recall that the technique of Japanese printmaking is very close to the original drawing since the ink drawing was applied to a piece of wood that the engraver carved precisely following the lines of the drawing which was itself destroyed by this operation. This volume contains numerous animated landscapes warrior scenes Toshiro Katano unknown
184979449Edo Tokyo Tokyo: Eirakuya Toshiro 1849. Fine. Eirakuya Toshiro Edo Tokyo Tokyo 1849 15.60 x 22.60 cm cousu Rare first edition translated as ""Croquis de Hokusaï"" volume 14. 15 volumes were actually published covering Hokusaï's work. The first was published in 1815 and the last posthumously in 1878. The final volume is considered apocryphal by some art historians. The 30 double-leaf volume contains around 39 engravings 12 of which are double-page spreads including many animated landscapes real and mythological animals. There are 3 colors: beige gray and black. It is difficult to determine wether it is a first or a later print run as this detail made no difference in Japanese book collecting. The publisher reprinted volumes as needed. We do know however that the publisher produced several issues of this book between 1849 and 1878. Volume in acordeon bound by a seam. Bronze-green cover with title label. Rubbing to front cover. Interior very fresh and clean. Printed on mulberry paper. A brown stain on the first 2 leaves. A good copy. Hokusai manga deal with a variety of subjects from scenes of everyday life to war scenes as well as typical Japanese legends animals and flowers. ""It is generally considered that after a period of intense production Hokusai selected his sketches very carefully and even redrew a number of them arranging them in the order we know today. However Michener maintains that the layout of the various sketches on a given plate was actually decided by the engravers and editors not by Hokusai himself."" Japanese printmaking technique remains very close to the original drawing's aesthetic since the ink drawing was affixed to a piece of wood that the engraver carved out precisely following the lines of the drawing which was itself destroyed in the process. It was these volumes of drawings that made Hokusai's reputation in the Western world. Hokusai Katsushika was a prolific and well-known Edo period printmaker whose prints among others inspired the French avantgarde at the end of the 19th century. Eirakuya Toshiro unknown
181682935Edo Tokyo Tokyo 1816. Fine. Edo Tokyo Tokyo 1816 15.50 x 22.50 cm cousu Rare first edition fifth volume of Hokusai's Mangas or Sketch Books. 15 volumes were published between 1815 and 1878 the fifth volume contains approximately 30 subjects most on double pages in black grey and flesh tones. Accordion-fold volume bound with stitching black cover some creasing to board edges rubbing and small lacks. The red printed label is lacking to this copy. The first and last pages detached from boards. Creases small lacks and discolouration to boards. Minor soiling. Hokusai's mangas treat various subjects the artist depicts Japan of the period from everyday scenes to amusing moments combining a great variety of subjects: the present volume focuses on temple architecture their ceremonies contemplative scholars ladies from the Heian period 784-1192 nobles samurai lords as well as divinities and onis demons. One will also note a magnificent view of Mount Fuji and an impressive storm scene at sea. These different subjects were intended to serve as learning manuals for use by young artists they would also serve as model collections for artisans and would even become a sort of illustrated encyclopedia of life and daily living in Japan during the Edo period 1603-1868. We should recall that the technique of Japanese printmaking is very close to the original drawing since the ink drawing was applied to a piece of wood that the engraver hollowed out following precisely the lines of the drawing which was itself destroyed by this operation. hardcover
