  1. There’s an interesting exhibition right now called “Japan on Paper in Dresden.” Many years ago, the Pinacothèque de Paris presented the exhibition “Van Gogh, rêves de Japon.”
    I find the influence of Japanese woodblock prints on other artists fascinating. Not only Van Gogh, but also Toulouse-Lautrec and Mary Cassatt drew inspiration from them.
    I copied “Monk Nichiren in the Snow on Sado Island” by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1840) from a photograph.

  7. "Famous Heroes of the Kabuki Stage Played by Frogs," Utagawa Kuniyoshi, c. 1875.

    Utagawa was sometimes dissatisfied and disaffected with the shogunate in Japan, which led him to create some stunning works of caricature, which can be seen here. Here we have an assortment of scenes from various kabuki plays, all apparently dealing with dramatic deeds by samurai...only with frogs.

    These were the days of the Tenpō Reforms, which cracked down on entertainment and banned luxury goods. Kabuki actors were required to wear hats outside lest they be too conspicuous, and the content of ukiyo-e art and popular literature was regulated.

    The censorship had the unintended consequence of forcing Utagawa to be very creative and sneaky with his material. Caricature such as this was a veiled criticism of the shogunate, and while it technically evaded the censors, the public ate it up, along with other caricatures he did.

    So we can add Utagawa to the Caricature Hall of Fame, with Goya and Daumier!

    Interestingly, this print is commonly dated to c. 1875, but Utagawa died in 1861, so I assume this was a design he put together that was printed posthumously.

  11. Gravure sur bois (vers 1847) de style Ukiyo-e par Utagawa Kuniyoshi ((歌川 国芳), représentant un chat habillé en humain et posant la main sur la tête d’une pieuvre.

    Cette œuvre est un exemple classique de l’Ukiyo-e (浮世絵), terme japonais signifiant « image du monde flottant »), un style de gravure sur bois japonaise qui a prospéré pendant la période Edo (1603-1868). Utagawa Kuniyoshi, figure éminente de cette tradition, a souvent représenté des animaux anthropomorphiques. Kuniyoshi était réputé pour mélanger humour, folklore et références culturelles dans ses œuvres.

  13. "Woman with Cat on the Table," Utagawa Kuniyoshi, 1832.

    Utagawa (1798-1861) was the last great master of ukiyo-e, and had many subjects in his life...including women, landscapes, Kabuki actors, mythical scenes, and great heroic samurai. However, no matter what, he seems to have been fond of cats, as they show up in many of his works.

    Here, the woman is lounging on what is probably a cold evening, with a book and a pipe, and her legs under a kotatsu, a low open wooden frame covered by a cloth and with a heat source underneath. The cat seems annoyed, though; he's arching his back and hissing, and her expression seems to say, "What's your problem?"

    Got cold nights comin'! I may have to put a quilt on my bed this weekend...

    From the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.

    (1797-1861)
    'Poem by Dainagon Tsunenobu' is a Japanese ukiyo-e print (ca.1840) from the series 'One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets'. It depicts Dainagon Tsunenobu at the window of his study at night visited by a ghost reciting a Chinese poem.
