Introducing "Ukiyo-e History" where I just post photos of cool woodblock prints from Japan's past and present and talk about why I like them :^) The first edition is about:

Kono Bairei, woodblock carver in the Meiji Era

Ox (1890s)

Something that immediately drew me to Kono Bairei's work is the distinct lack of outlines. Typically, every carving starts with a key block that defines the outline of every subject(usually dark black ink). Obviously he is not the only ukiyo-e artist to do this but, as a style, it sticks out from the crowd.

Monkey (1890s) and Boar (1880s)

You can see how it allows the the fur of his many animal prints to look 'more furry' and natural. Without the outlines, it is more apparent how the colors are layered. The overlapping layers become spots of focus to guide your eye around the printing.

In this piece, Scarecrow (1880s), you can clearly see the patches of overlap on the bamboo shapes. This style creates a boldness in the piece that makes up for the lack of a key block. Note also the contrast between straw coat, straw hat, and bamboo. This is a more apparent feature when there is no outlining.

I also just generally love the idea of giving your scarecrows a bow+arrow to really strike the fear of death into those conniving birds.
