8588618. PAINTING ALBUM TOSHINDO artist. A HUMOROUS ALBUM OF INDELICATE LADIES c. 1880 22 x 13.8 cm Orihon folding album in raw silk covered boards. Shibata Toshindo was married into the Shibata family her original family name was Niwa and birthplace Nagoya. The brother of one artist and married to another she became a student of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi and developed her skills as a painter of beautiful women. In this album she has turned her brush to a more humorous angle. In a series of 12 double page paintings she has recast the traditional "farting scroll" genre to the feminine side. Feats of strength wrestling games even the ultimate farting contest performed by robed and hopefully perfumed ladies. Fun and obviously irreverent. In very good condition. Quite skillful with a sure line. unknown

1837FF2531Oxford:: University Press 1837. 1837. Two volumes. 8vo. xii 583 1; 583-1001 1 84 pp. Original full black crushed morocco heavily stamped in gilt all edges gilt; rebacked black morocco raised bands new endleaves. Rubbed stamped series of numbers on titles. Very good set. With two fore-edge paintings by the "Dover" painter showing a scene of "Hornsey Church" and "Fulham Church." Sold by Dawson's Book Shop Los Angeles long ago perhaps in the 1930s. Ex-library copy no markings with direct identification from the Brooklyn Public Library sold Bloomsbury June 5 1986. / For me the work of this artist is much admired because of the quality of the paintings and the bindings used – clearly a bookseller with discretion took care to see that fine books with fine bindings were used. What stood out right away is that half of the Doheny library was made up of work from this artist. They were all among Doheny's earliest fore-edge painting purchases. They all came out of Southern California booksellers Dawson's and J.W. Robinson's Company Rare Book section of the famous department store in Los Angeles. Both Dawson's and Robinson's were either going to England or placing orders to have items sent to them. As soon as Mrs. Doheny was buying these works regularly more would come to keep her interested. This artist was working in the 1920s and remains anonymous other than it seems that one bookstore in London should be responsible for the works offered from this artist. That dealer seems to be the famous Marks & Company who did sell some fore-edge paintings but I have not found a Marks & Company sales catalogue to verify this theory. / This is the original artist's depiction of Hornsey Church 1750 is the same used by our fore-edge painter. Note the positioning of the people on the road left and next to the tree far right are also in the same position on the fore-edge painting. / Note: Fulham Church – source of the original image. Note the key elements are all the same: the height and number of trees the two prominent buildings the figures both on the rowboat and on the shore. One can see how the fore-edge artist interprets this scene and how well it matches. There are virtually no made-up sequences. This is the work of a copyist as most fore-edge painters are that. Source: William Marshall Select Views in Great Britain 1825. This scene has subsequently been attributed to Ralph Hall's Picturesque Scenery though not confirmed.

A superb scroll painting on silk 39.5 cm. wide by 233 cm. long painting size: 29.5 x 185cm. fine mounting pale silk chrysanthemum patterned border flawless flawless excellent pastel colors excellent condition.RARE! THIS IS A GREAT AND STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL HAND-PAINTED SCROLL THE SUBJECT: Kato Kiyomasa 1562-1611 was the son of Kiyotada a relative of Hideyoshi Toyotomi and served him and distinguished himself as one of the seven most famous warriors of that time by his heroic acts at the Battle of Shizugadatake. . During the invasion of Korea he followed Yukinaga Konishi -1600 to Pusan and on to Seoul in 1592 where he fought so fiercely that the Koreans named him "Devil Kiyomasa." Yukinaga was a Christian warrior & retainer of Hideie Ukita and was appointed Lord of Settsu by Hideyoshi Toyotomi. . Hideyoshi appointed these two to spearhead the Korean invasion with Yukinaga the commander. The plan was to launch waves of army corps by ship across the 56 mile wide Tsushima straits to Pusan. Some 300000 fighting men a truly serious force embarked. The first force of 9200 Samurai armed with matchlocks bows and swords set out. Upon landing they rapidly advanced North up the peninsula taking out Korean castles and subduing the regions through power of force. They advanced to Seoul as the armies divided into two parts each racing to see who would enter Seoul first. . At Cho-ryung pass they united then both advanced on Seoul & took the castle as the Korean King and his entourage fled over the river at Imjin where the Koreans up their valiant effort to check the Japanese. This is a most magnificent painting of both Kiyomasa and Yukinaga as each holds a Naginada while the Korean King prepares to rides a black steed effecting his escape while being protected by a retainer who also holds an elaborate Naganada with the Imperial banner. THE ARTIST AND PAINTING SCHOOL: . This work was done in the Utagawa school style and was likely painted by Utagawa Kuniyoshi or one of his star pupils. It was painted in the "Ukiyo-e" style similar to that of a color woodblock print. . It is painted in a firm solid confident strong hand this work is executed with most impressive brush strokes style & manner expressing the Bushido spirit celebrating triumph over the Koreans. Marvelous detail to the whole work renders this a major piece. Skillfully drawn & painted on silk which is the most difficult medium to control ink flow this work is flawless and a fine example worthy of display in any Tokunoma. . The top is blue paper with black Sumi inscription naming the heroes and citing the Korean Battle. REFERENCE: For biographical details see JAPAN BIOGRAPHICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA & WHO'S WHO pp.592 689-90. .
