MWW Artwork of the Day (8/27/22) Shirô Kasamatsu (Japanese, 1898–1991) The Great Lantern of the Kannon Temple in Asakusa (1934) Vertical ôban woodblock print, 38.2 x 26.4 cm. Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

Shirô Kasamatsu is one of the recognized masters of the Shin-hanga ("new prints") art movement that flourished in Japan from around 1915 to 1942, though it resumed briefly from 1946 through the 1950s. Inspired by European Impressionism, the artists incorporated Western elements such as the effects of light and the expression of individual moods, but focused on strictly traditional themes of landscapes (fukeiga), famous places (meisho), beautiful women (bijinga), kabuki actors (yakusha-e), and birds-and-flowers (kacho-e). Shin-hanga is often defined as "neo-ukiyo-e" under the shadow of the ukiyo-e tradition. While shin-hanga prints retain much of the ukiyo-e tradition in terms of subject matter, they reveal vastly different techniques and sensibilities.

Tanigami Konan (1879 - 1928)

Tanigami Konan was born 1879 in Hyogo prefecture and is a well known Kacho-e (birds and flowers) Nihon-ga artist. He was the first Japanese artist to paint Western flowers and is renown for his vivid, true-to-life painting of flowers.

Tanigami Konan produced five volumes of pictures of Western plants which were published by Unsodo circa 1917/18. This series is called 'Seiyo Soka Zofu', (A Picture Album of Western Plants and Flowers). Depicting lush flowers and exotic plants in full bloom and organised as a visual record of garden flowers, two volumes each were devoted to the spring and summer seasons, while the 5th volume combined the flowers and plants that flourished in the autumn and winter seasons.

Konan is mostly known for his signature peony series. In 1917 he was selected to produce a series of twenty-four peony prints for the Teiten (Imperial Exhibition). - More info and images here - https://www.ohmigallery.com/DB/Artists/Sales/Tanigami_Konan.asp

Shizuo Ashikaga Prints of flowers and birds (kacho-e) ca. 1950

Koson Ohara (1877 – 1945) fue un pintor japonés y diseñador de impresión de finales del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX, y reconocido como parte del movimiento shin-hanga (“nuevas impresiones”). A pesar de que produjo algunos trípticos de ukiyo-e que ilustran episodios de la guerra ruso-japonesa, la mayor parte de su producción estuvo basada en la creación de preciosas impresiones de pájaros, animales y flores (kachō-e). Ohara fue el grabador más conocido de kacho-e en el siglo XX y sus impresiones siempre fueron muy apreciadas por la comunidad de coleccionistas. El artista estuvo activo diseñando estampas hasta por lo menos 1935 y sus trabajos fueron exportados en gran número a los Estados Unidos.
