By Kamisaka Sekka (1866-1942), one of 30 different color woodblock prints from the album A Thousand Grasses, 1900. #arthistory #printmaking #japaneseart #art
From Artvee: “Kamisaka Sekka was an important artistic figure in early twentieth-century Japan. Born in Kyoto to a Samurai family, his talents for art and design were recognized early. He eventually allied himself with the traditional Rinpa school of art. He is considered the last great proponent of this artistic tradition. Sekka also worked in lacquer and in a variety of other media.”

Dawn at Futami Bay by Utagawa Kunisada, early 1830s. The sacred “Wedded Rocks” near Ise, bound by a shimenawa rope, under bold Western-style sun rays. Pilgrims rest on the shore, and the sunrise there still draws crowds today. #ukiyoe #Kunisada #JapaneseArt

The new exhibition, part of the Yayoi Kusama Museum seasonal changeover, appears prophetic in light of the artist's death, though it wasn't planned to convey that. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2026/10/09/art/yayoi-kusama-tokyo-exhibition-museum/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #art #yayoikusama #exhibitions #japaneseart

“One Hundred Poets Explained by the Wet Nurse”: Bonus week, Thursday W53Y5
Crazy title, no? There's an interesting little origin story here. In late 12th century Japan, someone (name lost in the mists of antiquity) came up with the idea of an anthology of 100 classic poems (waka), each by a different poet (Hyakunin isshu, "one hundred people, one poem each". There were a number of versions created, but the best known and perhaps the standard edition was compiled by Fujiwara no Teika, c1200 CE. Several centuries later, an artist named HISHIKAWA Moronobu created […] -
By Shiro Kasamatsu (1898-1992), Mountain Cottage in Autumn, woodblock print. #arthistory #woodblockprint #woodblock #japaneseart #printmaking
From Moonlit Sea Art: “Shiro Kasamatsu (笠松 紫浪, 1898-1991) was a prominent Japanese woodblock print artist whose career bridged two major printmaking movements: shin-hanga (new prints) and sōsaku-hanga (creative prints). Known for his evocative landscapes and urban scenes, Kasamatsu’s work is celebrated for its blend of traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern artistic sensibilities. His artistic journey reflects both his dedication to craftsmanship and his evolving vision as an artist during a transformative period in Japanese art history.”

By Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892), Gravemarker Moon, 1886, color woodblock print. As a print, it appears in many collections, both public and private. This image is from the British Museum, London. #arthistory #art #printmaking #woodblockprints #japaneseart
From the University of Oregon, The Lavenberg Collection of Japanese Prints: “The old woman seated on the fallen grave marker is the celebrated beauty and poetess Ono no Komachi (9th century). Komachi lost her beauty, position, and wealth, but after wandering destitute for many years, gained enlightenment.”
One of Komachi’s poems:
“The autumn night
is long only in name—
We’ve done no more
than gaze at each other
and it’s already dawn.”Translated by Jane Hirshfield and Mariko Arantani

Just put this matcha bowl up for sale!

I'm calling it a "First Snow" tea bowl, but how the Tenmoku glaze came out more on the red side also reminds me of Hokusai's red fuji ukiyoe: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/凱風快晴#/media/ファイル:Red_Fuji_southern_wind_clear_morning.jpg
