Es fällt schwer, exemplarische Bilder zu wählen, aber eins ist schöner als das andere. Meine Begleiterin (die werte Tochter, die sich als Teenager im Rijksmuseum einmal die private Ansicht der dortigen Hokusai-Drucke frech erfragt hat) und ich haben viel darüber geredet, ob den #ukiyo-e-Künstlern einfach ein besonders zeitloser Stil gelungen ist, oder ob der Einfluss, den sie auf europäische Kunst hatten, einfach so nachhaltig wirkt.

Eigentlich egal! Es ist alles eine Augenweide!

"No. 57, Grounds of Kameido Tenjin Shrine," Hiroshige, 1858.

I've featured Hiroshige (1797-1858) before, so I won't go into much detail about him. This was part of his "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," which was actually 119 prints, but it seems churlish to rant about false advertising.

The Kameido Tenjin shrine was built in honor of Sugawara no Michizane, a prominent politician and scholar. Serving multiple emperors, he was betrayed by a colleague, lost his position, and died, after which a series of natural disasters struck Japan. Some felt they were his revenge for betrayal, so the shrine was built to appease his spirit. Built in 1646 in the heart of the city, it was moved to the outskirts after a disastrous fire in Edo. It was later destroyed by bombers in WWII but rebuilt in concrete, where it remains today. Reportedly students still go there to pray to pass their exams!

And dig the wisteria! It's blossoming time for Asian wisteria.

Iwai Hanshirô [VIII] as a maiden beset by origami frogs.

"Genji Viewing Snow from a Balcony," Toyohara Kunichika, 1867.

Kunichika (1835-1900) was a noted artist of woodblock prints, mostly of kabuki actors and scenes from kabuki plays, but also of beautiful women and historic scenes. He flourished during the Edo era and the Meiji era, in the days when Japan was on the brink of massive cultural upheaval.

This print depicts a scene from the novel The Tale of Genji, about the life and loves of Prince Genji. Here he is, enjoying tea on his balcony. This may have been part of a triptych, with attendants on either side.

From a private collection.

"Cat with a Lantern," Kobayashi Kiyochika, 1877-81.

I'm doing another theme week!

Kiyochika was a fabulous woodblock artist during the Meiji period, when Japan was open to the West and rapidly modernizing. His work is considered the last great ukiyo-e art, which I was always fond of.

I love the detail of the jingle bell on the cat's collar, and the captured moment of playfulness.

Nachdem ich den beiden Goofies (9/7) heute Mittag #ukiyo von @frostedgames gezeigt hab, gab es heute Abend #alhambra. Und wann sind die denn so gut geworden? Die 7jährige hat mal schlappe 147 Punkte, die große rockt mit 139 und ich dümpel am Ende mit 129 Punkten rum. Bin voll stolz auf sie. So macht der #brettspiele-Urlaub bei Oma Spaß.

"Gion Shrine in Snow," Hiroshige, 1834.

Part of a series called "Famous Views of Kyoto."

It's amusing...I've talked to folks about our seemingly sharedl appreciation for Japanese culture only in almost every case their appreciation is kaiju, anime, and manga, and my appreciation is Ukiyo-e, Kurosawa, and Lafcadio Hearn...

We got no snow this year, so this is in hopes of some next winter.
