  • International Workshop
    Special event preceding EAJRS Conference, Leiden, September 16-19, 2015 INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP “IMAGES OF WOMEN IN THE AGE OF MECHANICAL REPRODUCTION: PRINT CULTURE IN EARLY MODERN AND MODERN JAPAN” Tuesday, September 15, 2015, Leiden University Abstracts and Speakers’ Biographical Notes (in the order of appearance) Masato Naitō (Keio University) Harbingers of Modernity: Objective Portrayal of Women in ukiyo-e Many beauties were depicted in ukiyo-e, mainly in prints or on commercial objects that needed to appeal to potential buyers. As ukiyo-e was driven by consumer demand it is necessary to be cautious when analyzing it as a historical document of the Edo period. This presentation aims at a comparative study of two different ways of representing women in ukiyo-e: one that is considered typical and one that is atypical and as such heralds the coming modernity. Masato NAITŌ is Professor of Art History at Keio University and Director at Keio University Art Center (Tokyo). Formerly, he served as head curator at the Idemitsu Museum of Art (Tokyo). His research intrests focus on Edo period art and inlcude ukiyo-e as well as painting of the Rimpa and the Kanō school. His major publications include Ukiyo-e to patoron (Ukiyo-e and Its Patrons, Keio Univrestity Press, 2014), Katuskawa Shunshō to Tenmeiki no ukiyo-e bijinga (Katsukawa Shunshō and Images of Beautiful Women of the Tenmei Era, Tokyo University Press, 2012) and Rimpa Art (co-authored, British Museum, 1998) etc. Prof. Naito received the Kajima Foundation for the Arts Award in 1994 and the International Ukiyo-e Society Award in 2015.

  • PICTURES of the FLOATING WORLD an Exploration of the World of the Yoshiwara, 吉原
    Cherry Blossom in the Yoshiwara by Yoshikazu PICTURES OF THE FLOATING WORLD An exploration of the world of the Yoshiwara, 吉原 PICTURES OF THE FLOATING WORLD In the nightless city Floating free from life’s cares Picture memories Haiku Keith Oram INTRODUCTION Japanese woodblock prints that recorded the Ukiyo, the ‘Floating World’ of the Yoshiwara of Edo city were so numerous that during the nineteenth century they were used to wrap ceramics exported to Europe. This practice provided some European artists with their first proper encounter with these beautifully created images. The impact on western art of their bold colours and sensuous line was quite significant influencing many artists of the avant gard. The story of those prints, however, began much earlier in the seventeenth century. First a little background history. The battle of Sekigahara in 1600 and the fall of Osaka in 1615 allowed Tokugawa Ieyasu to gain complete control of Japan. He had been made Shogun, supreme military leader, in 1603, but the fall of Osaka was the final action that gave him complete control. Almost his first act was to move the capital from Kyoto, the realm of the Emperor, to Edo, now Tokyo. This backwater town, now the new capital, grew very quickly into a large town. Tokugawa Iemitsu, Shogun 1623-51, required the daimyo of Japan, local rulers and warlords, to remain in Edo every other year, but when they returned to their fiefs he made them leave their families in the capital. This ‘hostage’ style management, sankin tokai, helped to maintain the peace. The other affect was that the daimyo needed to build large homes in Edo for their families.

    De animales y hombres Estampa japonesa y katagami del MNAD Una parte considerable de los fondos de este museo está compuesta por piezas de origen oriental, entre ellas podemos encontrar una destacada colección de ukiyo-e y los recién identificados katagami. De animales y hombres, nos permite adentrarnos en un mundo de papel que retrata un entorno natural y cultural a través del prisma de artista japonés del momento. Con una enorme capacidad de detalle, las piezas muestran escenas de la vida cotidiana en la ciudad de Edo; sus cánones de belleza y elegan- cia; una rica tradición literaria; su pasión por el paisaje y la naturaleza, desde la mirada científica a la poética. Todos ellos aspectos esenciales para comprender el inmenso magnetismo que provocan estas manifestaciones. Esta muestra forma parte del proyecto “Relectura de la colecciones del museo”, a través del cual se intenta poner a disposición del público un mayor porcentaje de la colección a través de diversas ex- posiciones temáticas en las puedan ver la luz piezas que habitualmente, por cuestiones de espacio o conservación, deben permanecer en almacenes; y asi mismo ofrecer nuevas datos e interpretaciones entorno a las mismas. Esta selección se centra en dos tipos de objeto que tienen el papel como soporte, que fueron produ- cidos en Japón entre los siglos XVIII y XX, y con una temática limitada centrada en representaciones del mundo animal y el ser humano. Corresponden a dos técnicas concretas: el grabado polícromo con planchas de madera (ukiyo-e) y plantillas de estarcido para teñir tejidos: (katagami). El Ukiyo-e Como otras manifestaciones de las artes plásticas japonesas, el ukiyo-e es una técnica compleja en la frontera entre la producción artística y la artesanía de alta calidad.

  • Japanese Prints Illustrated Survey
    Japanese Prints A Brief Illustrated Survey (Note: The question of where to set the dividing line between eras is subject to a broad range of interpretation. Choice of date subdivisions here is strictly my own. - Tom Silver) Early Edo Period (1670-1765) The first prints were monochrome, using black ink which typically derived from pine charcoal and then was applied to a single wood block. These prints are known as sumi-e. By the early 1700s color was added - but by hand, since the problem of carving a design in perfect registration across multiple color blocks had not yet been solved. By the 1740s a method of alignment was devised which cut shallow registration slots known as kento into each color block. Print paper could then be transferred from one block to another to take on multiple colors accurately. The paper was dropped into slots which were identically located on each block, assuring uniform alignment. This system allowed multiple color inks to be applied exactly where intended on the paper. Typically only two color blocks were used at first - inked with pink and green respectively. These 1740s prints are known as benizuri-e. But in 1765 Suzuki Harunobu expanded the number of color blocks to five or more, producing the first true multi-color Japanese prints (known as nishiki-e). Edo period prints from inception in the 1670s right through the 18th century primarily featured kabuki actors and courtesans as their subject matter. The earliest figures were portrayed as androgynous, with a later shift to generic male and female figures lacking in individuality.
