99001601Edo 1891. A brocade silk covered album Oban size all edge gilt with a total of 65 fine color prints including 2 title pages and one dedication print book size 24.5 x 35.5 cm. 4.15 cm. thick. A stunning group of his most famous prints well represented. Hiroshige II 1826-1869 and III 1843-1894 were one in the same a pupil of the most famous & great Ando Hiroshige. Using his master's name plus his old name Ichiryusai he was the adopted son of Hiroshige I and was a very skilled painter who actually painted along side & with the master until his master's death in 1858. After that Ichiryusai specialized in railroad prints depicting these new innovations recently imported from the West around Yokohama as well as issuing many series of beautiful prints. In his later years he executed a most beautiful and exquisite set of his own interpretation of his master's most well-known series of prints showing Mt. Fuji & the celebrat- ed places around Edo. This was not done to merely copy the master's works but rather as a sincere Confucian tribute to his adopted father & now father-in-law and master. He took each of the master's views & repainted them in pastel colors with great control & precision. Some of the more delicate places such as rainbows and clouds behind a flock of birds were actually brushed on by hand a technique rarely ever done. The wood blocks used were of the highest quality a majority of which were center cuts & these have left a most beautiful wood-pattern in the print. This example shows 28 prints from the Fuji Sanju Rokkei and 35 from the Edo Yonju Hakkei series with the title page from each present. There is a dedcation & memorial print to Hiroshige I from his fai- thful son and pupil. This print is most similar to one found as the frontispiece to the book by E. F. Strange: THE COLOR PRINTS OF HIROSHIGE London 1925.Its clear that this print by Kunisada who is Toyokuni I was used as a model by Ichi- ryusai as it differs in what the master is holding.Kunisada shows him holding his rosary beads while Ichiryusai shows the master with his Fude brush pen and paper in hand.Ichi- ryusai and Kunisada had collaborated to issue a series of 36 prints:EDO JIMAN or THRIY-SIX PLACES OF WHICH YEDO IS PROUD. Ichiryusai has taken much care to represent the most wonder- ful views of Fuji & Edo with great skill.A majority of these prints are certainly well-known to the art world at large as well as to Japanese print collectors.Many of these prints prints show up in the usual references. Some of the more famous Edo views are showing a falcon in winter rain on the river bridgestorks cat view in Asakusabusy street scenes Asakasa temple & lantern in snow river scenes &c. Some Fuji views show many snow scenes seasonal viewscherry blossoms a majority show water and mountains charming set of prints. Alternate title is MEISHO EDO HYAKKEI. See L. Roberts: A DICTIONARY OF JAPANESE PRINTS ARTISTS p.44-45 for background on Hiroshige III & III. R. Lane: IMAGES FROM THE FLOATING WORLD p.232-254 most all of the prints in this album are listed under Hiroshige I's series: MEISHO EDO HYAKKEI: ONE HUNDRED FAMOUS VIEWS OF EDO.
