- Lot Description
Toyohara Chikanobu (Yoshu Chikanobu) (Japanese, 1838 to 1912); "Beauties" from "Fukuzukushi" series, woodblock print, Meiji Period, ca. 1890. A wonderful woodblock print in colored ink on paper featuring two beautiful women with a child and infant. They are presented within a room of a modest house. The standing woman presents a colorful robe with a crane pattern to the seated mother. Chikanobu often portrayed vibrant women's fashion in his pieces and his titles often referenced the clothing depicted. The word "fuku" in the title can mean both "good fortune" and "clothing." The presentation of the robe to the newborn could have an auspicious meaning. To right side above the women are Japanese characters and, more unusual, Roman letters: "SHO HUKU." The print is mounted in a modern frame. Size of print: 13.125" L x 9" W (33.3 cm x 22.9 cm); Size of frame: 17.25" L x .6" W x 22.125" H (43.8 cm x 1.5 cm x 56.2 cm)
Toyohara Chikanobu was a samurai of the Sakakibara and joined the shogitai to support the Shogun during the Meiji restoration and fought in battles with other Tokugawa loyalists where he achieved recognition for his bravery. After the Shogunate fell and the shogitai's surrender, Chikanobou began his career as an artist and newspaper illustrator, and often signed his artwork as "Yoshu Chikanobu." He is known for prints of all genres but is most celebrated for his depictions of women’s fashions and vibrant colors. His work has been exhibited in museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
