OTOHIME GYORETSU ZU: OTO HIME DAUGHTER OF THE SEA GOD'S PARADE

36023801Japan 1860 n.p. Large sheet 96 x 1m 44 cm. gouachevery clean work no worming or other condition issues painted on 16 joined sheets of Washi paper to make one large sheetfine water-color painting. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL PAINTED ART WORK . . . AM ORIGINAL COLOR PAINTING IN GRAND SIZE . . . FROM JAPAN'S OLDEST MYTHOLOGY: . . . THE KOJIKI & NIHON SHOKI PANTHEON . . . THE ORIGINS OF THE EMPEROR . . . OTOHIME GYO RETSU ZU: . . . THE PROCESSION OF OTOHIME DAUGHTER OF THE SEA GOD . . A stunning color painting by Kyosai. Probably done for a temple donation or as an expression of his faith to Japan's historic heroine. . OTOHIME is a goddess in Japanese mythology and is featured in the Kojiki as well as Nihon Shoki. Also known as "Luminous Jewel". A Japanese goddess the beautiful daughter of the sea-king Ryujin. She married Hoori and gave birth to a son after which she turned into a dragon. . Per the Japanese text brushed on the verso upper left corner: "239 ban dated Ansei 7th Kanoe-Saru-doshi 2 gatsu jojun end of February OTOHIME GYO RETSU ZU" . English: "#239 dated Ansei 7th monkey zodiac year end of Feb.: 1860 . PAINTING TITLE PER VERSO: "THE FIGURE OF PRINCESS OTOHIME'S PROCESSION THE DAUGHTER OF THE SEA GOD" . "Toyotama-hime" Japanese for "Lady Bountiful Soul" better known as Otohime is a goddess in Japanese mythology and is featured in the Kojiki as well as Nihon Shoki. She is the beautiful daughter of Ryujin the "God of the Sea." . A STUNNING ORIGINAL POLYCHROME GOUACHE PAINTING: . This original color watercolor painting shows the lively procession of OTOHIME and her hand maid. She is followed by a flag and umbrella bearer. Also following is a man with a pair of deer antlers good omen a man with a small red offering table with peaches the Wind God and his thunder-drum. Another flag bearer his helper followed by two others one holds a staff the other an offering of golden egg. . The items carries are symbolic good fortune and wealth in terms of deer antlers peaches and the golden egg represent ancient Chinese also used by the Japanese of omens of good fortune and good luck. . THE PAINTING: . Per the Japanese brushed text on the verso there is a number found meaning this panel of several was part of a larger work per the chronology found in Clark see below. . This panel of several paintings was part of a restoration of Zojo-ji temple in Shiba. In 1859 KANO Toei & Kyosai "participates in a repair project at the Zojo-ji temple." See Clark. . Although Kyosai had officially left the Kano school in 1854 by participating in the restoration of Tokugawa's family temple in Shiba he was showing loyalty to the Tokugawa family a good reason to volunteer his skills to the temple. It is also noteworthy that his mentor Kano Toei also participated in the restoration and in all likelihood Kyosai joined his master in a sign of respect and loyalty to him. . Based on this chronology it is clear Kyosai was one of the painters who worked at Zojo-ji temple along with his mentor and master teacher Kano Toei. It was not uncommon at this time for schools to volunteer teachers and students to do temple restoration and art work painting replacing or enhancing paintings and large murals. . This item's date matches the restoration dates for the Zojo-ji temple which began in 1859 and continued into 1860. . This panel was unused in the restoration it may have been a precursor to the final painting which was actually used in the restoration project. It matches the scenes found in Zojo-ji temple restoration. The work is the exact style of others painted by Kyosai and his genre. The caricatures of the people in this painting reflect Kyosai's style exactly the theme of his eccentric humor expressing his love for creativity and the joy of painting. . It is entirely within Kyosai's bizarre character to undertake and devote himself to such a project as illustrating the famous myth of OTOHIME in more than 200 deluxe extra-large-size format paintings. . This restoration project could also have been a 'paying job' for Kyosai as at that time he did not seem to be employed but in 1858 he began to design "Kyoga crazy pictures. It was in 1857 he married Okyo the daughter of a Rimpa painter Suzuki Kiitsu but Okyo died in 1859 and he remarried Tose who died in 1860. . It is more than likely Kyosai being a Buddhist he felt it was his religious obligation to do pennants by contributing to and drawing Buddhist or such traditional images as a way to placate the loss of his wife. . THE STORY OF OTOHIME DAUGHTER OF THE SEA GOD: . Because this work was part of the Zojo-ji temple restoration it cannot be considered a commercial painting one that was casually drawn and put on the market for sale. This was part of a commissioned restoration financed by some benefactor to the temple and most likely supported by the Tokugawa family. . ONE OF JAPAN'S EARLIEST AND MOST FAMOUS MYTHS: . The story of OTOHIME DAUGHTER OF THE SEA GOD is one of Japan's oldest and most famous myths known to all Japanese. Treasured as one of the most important in the ancient pantheon it is found in the earliest writing about the origin of Japan and the Emperor in the KOJIKI and the NIHON SHOKI. . This kind of larger paper illustrated story would take months to complete by It would also take devotion to the subject and focus with responsibility to produce a good number of paints daily. This was something Kyosai could and would do ! . THE ARTIST/PAINTER: This work is unsigned which is expected as part of a larger series of paintings. If this was the work of Kyosai it falls entirely within the dates during his period of work produced when he was 29 years old. . The caricature in the faces and fluid bodies in motion the "flowing" style are his. Although there is no signature and it is a true reflection of Kawanabe's work we are attributing it to him. . Another convincing point is that this kind of painting and meticulous style is also found in his famous instructional showing various 'schools' of painting in his KYOSAI GADEN. See below. . WHO WAS KAWANABE GYOSAI/KYOSAI: 1831-1889: Kawanabe Kyosai was a superb artist in the words of a critic "an individualist and an independent perhaps the last virtuoso in traditional Japanese painting". . Living through the Edo period to the Meiji period Kyosai witnessed Japan transform itself from a feudal country into a modern state. Born at Koga he was the son of a Samurai. His first aesthetic shock was at the age of nine when he picked up a human head apart from a corpse in the Kanda river. . After working for a short time as a boy with Utagawa Kuniyoshi he received his artistic training in the Kano school but soon abandoned the formal traditions for the greater freedom of the popular school. During the political ferment which produced and followed the revolution of 1867 Kyosai attained a reputation as a caricaturist. His very long painting on Makimono" scroll The battle of the farts" may be seen as a caricature of this ferment. . He was arrested three times and imprisoned by the authorities of the Shogunate. Soon after the assumption of effective power by the Emperor a great congress of painters and men of letters was held at which Kyosai was present. . He again expressed his opinion of the new movement in a caricature which had a great popular success but also brought him into the hands of the police this time of the opposite party. After this time he changed his name from Kyo crazy or wild to any one of 19 other "Go" studio names he used. However after the police jailed him he avoided use of "Kyo" but returned back to it with three other "GO" that used the same character "Kyo" crazy & wild such as #7 "Baiga Kyosha" #10 "Kyosai #12 Kyosha Gaishi #16 "Shosho Kyosai" Quoted from Roberts below see that reference for more details. . Kyosai is considered by many to be the greatest successor of Hokusai as well as the first political caricaturist of Japan. His work mirrored his life in its wild and undisciplined nature and occasionally reflected his love of drink. . Color photos are posted to our website. . REFERENCE: . More on OTO HIME: heon-org/articles/o/otohime-html KAWANABE Gyosai later known as Kyosai: Is well collected by world museums I GADAN: 1887 4 vol. set: In this work he outlines and exhibits a wide variety of "styles" of painting. In this work there are several examples of this kind or school of painting. Wikipedia stated about this book: "The most important work about Kyosai's art and life was written by himself: Kyosai Gadan or "Kyosai's Treatise on Painting" half autobiography and half painting manual. WESTERN APPRECIATORS: Many westerners came to visit Kyosai and their memoirs about the artist are valuable. The two important ones both rare were: Emile Etienne Guimet Promenades Japonaises Paris 1880. Josiah Conder: "Paintings and Studies by Kawanabe Kyosai" Tokyo 1911. Conder was a serious student of Japanese art; after some initial rejections he was accepted as Kyosai's pupil and accompanied him for ten years until the master's death. Timothy Clark Demon of painting: the art of Kawanabe Kyosai p.186 chronology and the drawing #21 p.58 is very similar to the pose found in our painting of OTOHIME Toyotama-hime both in pose facial quality hair style and the general perspective. ROBERTS Laurance P.: A DICTIONARY OF JAPANESE ARTISTS: PAINTING SCULPTURE CERAMICS PRINTS LACQUER p.100 stated of him: Kyosai ".was marked by a wild eccentric humor.caricatures of full of fantasy and invention."

189032102738vo sheet 16 x 10 cm.Maria and Frances Anne Harlock began their school at Banbury Oxfordshire about 1890. The Harlock's were natives of Banbury and the daughters of a local draper and former mayor who used part of the family home as a school until the death of their father in 1923 who was by then 101. As the Harlock's were Quakers good works by the family for the local area was something of a calling. Francis later served on the committee of management of the Friends' School at Sibford and it would appear that the sisters had run their own school on a break-even principle and saw education as a vocation rather than a money making enterprise.

SUITE OF SIX MINIATURE GOAUCHE PAINTINGS ON PITH PAPER OF CHINESE TORTURE AND EX

30018401Canton ca. 1800-1820 Lam-Qua. Red flax mat six goauche color paintings on pith paper each 10 x 7 cm two per mat very good clean two with marginal chipsimage not affected meticulously color drawn in much detail. R A R E . . . THE SUITE OF SIX COLOR GOUACHE PAINTINGS . . Begins with the a painting of Imperial police bringing the accused to where he will be punished. He wears a cangue or a large wooden collar clamped around his neck with his crime written on paper which is then glued to the wood. Image two shows the guilty on his knees being beaten with a leather strap by the punisher. Image three shows the policeman pulling a chain connected to a metal ring on the neck of the accused. The next shows the image of a large rock connected to a chain and the accused sitting on the rock with the chain fastened to his leg. The fifth shows the magistrate pointing his finger at the guilty as he while being admonished the guilty is forced to kneel on small rocks while a policeman holds ears. The last image shows the executioner with a long sword at the ready while the accused has a very sour look on his face his hands tied behind his back with his crime written on a long piece of wood at his side. It was common to parade the guilty through the streets for all to see the criminal as he was led to the execution grounds. . LAM-QUA TING-QUA SCHOOL: The works are done in the Canton style of Lam-Qua and his brother Ting-qua. See item #2 below for a link. . Ting-qua born ca. 1809; flourished 1840-70. He was the brother of Lam-Qua 1801-1860 and probably a close relation of Spoilum. Ting-qua's studio at 16 China Street Guangzhou was perhaps the most prolific source of Chinese export paintings of its time. Working in a manner influenced by Western artistic traditions Ting-qua and the painters of his studio restricted themselves to gouache and water-colors perhaps to avoid rivalry with Lam-qua's oil paintings. Their pictures which were often sold in sets." Quoted from item #2 below. . PITH PAPER: The paintings were done on pith paper. "Pith paper or rice paper" a misnomer as it is sometimes known is made from the inner pith of the plant Tetrapanex papyrifera which is a member of the Araliaceae family. The plant is a shrub native to Southern China and Taiwan. As well as a painting material pith paper was used to make artificial flowers and surgical dressings." Cited from item #1 below. . THE LEGAL SYSTEM OF CHINA IN EARLY 19TH CENTURY: Justice was swift and usually done to make an example of the accused. If the accused pleaded guilty and confessed his punishment was lessoned. If he persisted in innocence even though he was not guilty his punishment was more severe. Showing a cooperative attitude was of advantage. Nearly all people accused of a crime were assumed to be guilty. The punishment for various crimes were commonly known and justice was meted out by the magistrate. . RARITY: Gouache pith paintings are now rare most were damaged cracked and brittle rendering them useless. The few that survived are considered RARE and uncommon. The paintings were drawn with much skill and patience and were for the most part drawn for and sold to foreigners in the treaty ports of China in the early 19th century. Drawn with a fine brush in vivid colors the paintings depicted things that would fascinate foreigners and encourage them to bring home as souvenirs. The current examples often caught the eye of foreigners who may have actually seen some form of public punishment or execution. . CONDITION: The work is remarkable clean and solid. As usual when ever pith paper is fastened at the corners there is a reaction to moisture in the air and the paper will expand or contract and thus snap its connection. By and large these works are not damaged except for two corners where there was some loss. Please see link #1 below on how to mount and care for pith paintings. These can be re-matted per the link and preserved on acid-free paper and reframed for display. . Color photos are posted to our website. . BIBLIOGRAPHY: . C.L.

RARE ! . . . A SUPERB SUITE OF TWELVE STUNNING COLOR PITH PAINTINGS . . . ILLUSTRATING VARIOUS CHINESE IN ELABORATE COSTUME . This is a charming suite of 12 lovely portraits of Chinese men women and military men. . THE PAINTED SUBJECTS: . 1. An old sage holds a scroll of holy texts while he is seated behind him stands a guard with a pole sword. . 2. A young warrior holds a long axe ready for action. . 3.

The twelve paintings are gently mounted to stiff black album pages with the old style "NuAce" photo mounting corners. There is no damage to the paintings with this technique. . THE STUNNING GOLD OVER BLACK ILLUSTRATED LACQUER COVERS: This is a very unusual binding hand-painted in gold lacquer over black lacquer background on wooden boards. . The cover illustration shows five Chinese: The Lord & Master; his concubine; his son Prince; his retainer; and the maid. . The Lord & master is seen seated before a tea service with three golden cups and a golden ceramic tea pot. The Lord & Master reaches for the hand of his fair and very young concubine who holds a fan. The tea service is clearly for three people: The Lord & Master his son the Prince and the concubine. . The retainer is seated just behind the Lord & Master's right side showing proper respect by looking at the floor. The young Prince the son is seated before his father and looks at the concubine. At the rear is the maid waiting for order. She puts her right hand on the adjacent table holding a tray. . The work has an elaborate and stunning border.

The margin-borders are elaborately done with differing traditional Chinese patterns and designs. A most stunning view inside of the . The back is plain black lacquer. . The spine is black leather with period Chinese swastika design white over black end papers. Some of the old glue is showing through the very thin tissue endpapers else very solid with heavy black pages. . CONDITION OF THE GOLD AND BLACK LACQUER COVERS: The covers are in exceptionally good condition. There are two minor spots: one ca. 1.5 cm spot at the son's midsection and another black spot .05 cm just below his robe. . There is the very small amount of occasional and barely visible usual and very minor mild scuffing with a minor discoloration of the face of the maid. There is a bit of 'crackle' to the black lacquer which is normal for a piece 200 years old. Else this is in very nice condition. .

Numbers: . 1 has a tiny 1.5 & .5 cm. small split at bottom left this does not affect the painting. . 2 has the lower portion folded in the process of paper-making which is normal variation and does not detract. . 5 has a tiny 1 cm. split at top in the margin this does not affect the painting. . 9 has a 7 cm. split from the elbow to the bottom of the work apparently restored from the verso minimal impact. . 11 has a small 1 cm. scuff in the right margin this does not affect the image. . 12 has a similar but less obvious 1 cm. scuff in the right margin at the same place as #11 this does not affect the image. . The balance i.e. numbers: 3467810 are without issues. . OVERLY CRITICAL: We are commonly obsessive and overly critical about pointing out any and all defects. Please view the scans posted to our website. All in all these look much better than the above description. Perfectly clean no blemishes. .

Confederation Jubilee Gordon Bell School Pageant 1867-1927

19277626Winnipeg Manitoba: Bauslaugh Photos 408 Main St. Winnipeg 1927. Original Photograph. Original silver gelatin photograph panoramic format measuring 16.75 x 7.5. Bears a white inscription in the negative: "CONFEDERATION JUBILEE GORDON BELL SCHOOL PAGEANT 1867-1927" to the bottom-centre and the name photographer's studio "Bauslaugh Photos 408 Main St. Winnipeg" to the right margin. An utterly charming panoramic photograph capturing the full cast of a large-scale historical pageant held at Winnipeg's Gordon Bell School organized to celebrate Canada's 1927 Diamond Jubilee. The 60th anniversary of Confederation was a massive national event and patriotic school pageants such as the one pictured were a primary method of relating Canadian history civics and the era's concept of national identity. The cast of students is arranged as a "living map" of Canada's diverse identities. Pictured at the centre are a row of young women in white dresses each personifying the provinces individually holding a shield with their respective coat of arms. The shields for Manitoba buffalo Saskatchewan wheat sheaves Alberta St. George's Cross over mountains and British Columbia Union Jack over a setting sun are clearly visible. Other central figures are dressed as "Britannia" or "Miss Canada" holding the Union Jack symbolizing the young nation's dual loyalties to both Canada and the British Empire. Surrounding the central figures is a charming and diverse cast of students representing the many peoples comprising the nation. This includes students in Scottish kilts traditional Ukrainian and Polish embroidered shirts and floral headdresses and a young girl dressed in Indigenous regalia portrayed in a typical pageant-style. Other students are dressed as early settlers pioneers and historical figures creating a complete and idealized vision of the nation's multicultural identity. The photograph was taken by Bauslaugh Photos of Winnipeg located at 408 Main Street very likely related to Bauslaugh & Taylor also of Winnipeg and active in the city between 1911-1915. An invaluable and lovely visual record of 1920's Winnipeg and Canada. Unrecorded in OCLC. Not found in Peel BAC/LAC UoM Archives & Special Collections et al. Exceptionally well-preserved: the silver gelatin photograph retains strong detail and contrast. There is a short horizontal crease to the right margin extending slightly into the image area. Otherwise the photograph remains without flaws. The inscriptions in the negative remain equally clear and legible. Near fine. Bauslaugh Photos (408 Main St.), Winnipeg unknown
