Los Grabados Shunga Japoneses El Shunga (Lit Los grAbAdos shungA JAponeses El shunga (lit. «imágenes de primavera») es un género de producción visual japonés que tiene como tema principal la representación del sexo. Está vinculado, principalmente, con la producción gráfica conocida como «estampas del mundo flotante», o xilografía ukiyo-e, del período Edo (1603-1867) Shunga por Hishikawa Moronobu, (1618- Hacia 1680. Colección particular En la exposición que se celebró en el Museo Picasso titulada Imágenes secretas, Picasso y la estampa erótica jap (Nov-2009 - Feb-2010) , se pudieron ver libros de gran erotismo. El nombre que recibieron estas joyas del erotismo y de la imprenta japonesa fue el de shunga (fiesta de la primavera); mahura- e (imágenes de los sonidos del oído), warai-e, y el de higa (imágenes secretas). Shunga por Hishikawa Moronobu (1618- 1694). Nanshoku erótico El primer shunga fechado data del año 1660 y se trata de un enpon (libro impreso) titulado Yoshiwara makura. El libro, creado por un artista anónimo, es una combinación de un manual del sexo junto con una crítica de las cortesanas de Yoshiwara. Como manual ilustraba las cuarenta y ocho «posiciones estándar», mientras que la crítica ofrecía un resumen de las cortesanas, sus características, donde podían ser localizadas y los precios. Alrededor de 1670 surgió el primero de los grandes maestros del ukiyo-e: Hishikawa Moronobu Shunga por Hishikawa Moronobu (1618- 1694) Durante las décadas de 1670 y 1680 tuvo lugar el primero de los grandes auges del shunga, liderado por las obras de Moronobu y Sugimura Jihei en Edo, y Yoshida Hanbei en Kamigata (la región de Kioto y Osaka). Una nueva ola creativa tuvo lugar entre 1711 y 1722 de la mano de Nishikawa Sukenobu, artista de Kioto cuyo apellido se convirtió en sinónimo de estampa erótica con el término Nishikawa-e. La producción de shunga cesó casi completamente por casi diez años, aunque durante los años 1740 Okumura Masanobu estuvo activo en Edo. Shunga por Hishikawa Moronobu (1618- 1694) Prácticamente de 1790 a 1820 cesó la producción de shunga, con la excepción de los trabajos de Kitagawa Utamaro, entre 1798 y 1803, y Katsushika Hokusai, activo durante los años 1810- Alrededor de 1820 tuvo lugar el tercer y último auge del shunga, liderado por artistas como Utagawa Toyokuni y Keisai Eisen. El shunga del período Meiji gozó de dos oleadas importantes de popularidad: entre 1894 -1895 y 1904- 1905, fechas de las guerras Chino-Japonesa y Ruso- Japonesa. En ellas los soldados japoneses llevaron álbumes de shunga conocidos como kachi-e. El Código penal japonés de 1907, en su artículo 175, estableció penas de cárcel contra la obscenidad y marcó el final de la producción del shunga, aunque al mismo tiempo ocasionó la aparición de un mercado negro. La fotografía marcó su final. �" n. V\ Shunga por Nishikawa Sukenobu, 1711.

La medición tradicional de las horas en Japón Las costumbres europeas para computar el tiempo difieren de las desarro- lladas por los japoneses a lo largo de su historia.1 En 1872, el gobierno refor- mista de la era Meiji (1868-1912) adoptó el calendario gregoriano y se cambió también la forma de medir la duración de las horas, que hasta entonces eran doce para todo el día. Aproximadamente sus horas eran como dos de las nues- tras, si bien esas doce horas tenían duración diferente por el día y por la noche. En el invierno, las horas de la noche son más largas que en el verano. La salida y la puesta de sol son los límites de las seis horas del día y las seis horas de la noche. Esas seis horas, en lugar de contarlas progresivamente, se computaban como en una cuenta atrás, comenzando por el número superior, del nueve al cuatro.2 Además de esta numeración, tan ajena a la que estamos acostumbra- dos, otra peculiaridad era que, además de los números, los japoneses también * Departamento de Historia del Arte de la Universidad de Zaragoza.

A popular subject for artists, a daimyo and his entourage could make for a lively scene. During Edo, daimyo were required to travel to Edo City every other year and live there under the alternate attendance (sankin- kōtai) system. Hundreds of retainers would transport weapons, ceremonial items, and personal effects that signal the daimyo’s military and financial might. Some would be mounted on horses; the daimyo and members of his family carried in palanquins. Cat. 5 Tōshūsai Sharaku Actor Arashi Ryūzō II as the Moneylender Ishibe Kinkichi 1794 Kabuki actor portraits were one of the most popular types of ukiyo-e prints. Audiences flocked to see their favourite kabuki performers, and avidly collected images of them. Actors were stars, celebrities much like the idols of today. Sharaku was able to brilliantly capture an actor’s performance in his expressive portrayals. This image illustrates a scene from a kabuki play about a moneylender enforcing payment of a debt owed by a sick and impoverished ronin and his wife. The couple give their daughter over to him, into a life of prostitution. Playing a repulsive figure, the actor Ryūzō II made the moneylender more complex: hard-hearted, gesturing like a bully – but his eyes reveal his lack of confidence. The character is meant to be disliked by the audience, but also somewhat comical.

Title: Style and function of female images in prints by Keisai Eisen (1790–1848): Ideals of beauty and gender in the Late Edo Period consumer society Issue Date: 2021-07-15 Chapter One Eisen: An Overview of His Career, His Oeuvre, and His ʻMarket’ Several modern ukiyo-e scholars have conducted important analysis and investigations into Eisen and his works. Hayashi Yoshikazu has scrutinized Eisen’s erotic artworks (shunga 春画) in collaboration with Katsushika Hokusai and Hokusai’s daughter Oei 阿栄 (also known as Katsushika Ōi 葛飾応為, act. 1801‒1854) in Oei to Eisen: Enpon kenkyū 阿栄と英泉：艶本研究.11 Ōsawa Makoto undertook a detailed, comprehensive study of Eisen’s artistic life in the post-war era, in his Keisai Eisen 渓斎英泉 of 1976, but little investigation has subsequently been conducted on the artist’s individual works.12 Akai Tatsurō 赤井達郎 has shed light on the close collaboration between the popular writer- publisher Shunsui and Eisen with an eye toward the possible influence that Shunsui might have had on the design of Eisen’s female images. Since Akai does not demonstrate any visual examples of Eisen’s biJin-ga, I would like to explore if and how Eisen’s biJin-ga have actual influence of Shunsui’s ideas and writings about women. The first substantial one-man show on Eisen and his works took place in 1997 at the Ōta kinen bijutsukan 太田記念美術館 (Ōta Memorial Museum of Art).13 The most recent museum exhibition to thoroughly focus on Eisen’s art was organized in 2012 by the Chiba City Museum of Art.

Two women leading carry trunks covered with the character kotobuki (“happiness”). The inscription at top right reads “a procession of beauties with Fuji-foreheads”. Fuji-forehead refers to a graceful hairline shaped like Mount Fuji. This used to be a symbol of beauty. Cat. 1 Katsushika Hokusai Shinagawa 1801–04 This location overlooking Edo Bay was a popular spot for viewing the moon. This is Shinagawa, first post town on the Tōkaidō out of Edo City. The woman on the bench wears an agebōshi (cloth headgear to protect the hair from dirt and dust); an ox rests from pulling a cart. While travelling, heavy luggage could be deposited with handlers who would transport it via ox carts. Cat. 2 Katsushika Hokusai Fuji view plain in Owari province Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji around 1831 Hokusai searched for subjects that would produce an unusual effect when combined with the image of Mt Fuji. This print is one of his most iconic works in the series, which depicts the mountain from various locations in Japan. Owari is one of the western-most places from which Fuji is visible. The great symbol of eternity is amusingly reduced to a tiny triangle set within a large bottomless barrel. By framing Fuji like this, Hokusai creates an intimate dialogue between the iconic mountain and the sinewy man.

  • JAPANESE PRINTS FROMTHELEIBERMUSEUM the Judith and Gus Leiber Collection of Japanese Woodblock Prints by E
    JAPANESE PRINTS FROMTHELEIBERMUSEUM The Judith and Gus Leiber Collection of Japanese Woodblock Prints by E. Frankel It is my pleasure to be part of this fine exhibition of ukiyo-e prints. Just as everything else that the Leibers have done in their business as well as personal lives, it is tribute to their outstanding dedication to taste and connoisseurship. This collection has been put together over the last fifty years primarily in New York City.The Leibers have had the same fascination with Japanese woodblock prints shown by such great artistic talents asVincent van Gogh, James Abbott McNeilWhistler, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Mary Cassett, Henri deToulouse-Lautrec, Frank Lloyd Wright and James Mitchner. In France this influence has been called Japonisme, which started with the frenzy to collect Japanese art, particularly woodblock print art (ukiyo-e). The woodblock prints from Japan were among the first art of Asia to strongly influence the West.These works were seen in Paris in approximately 1856 and their influence manifested itself in Art Nouveau and French Impressionism.The French artist Félix Bracquemond first came across a copy of the sketchbook Hokusai Manga at the workshop of his printer; the woodblocks had been used as packaging for a consignment of porcelain from Japan. In 1860 and 1861 reproductions (in black and white) of ukiyo-e were published in books on Japan. In 1861 Baudelaire wrote in a letter:“Quite a while ago I received a packet of japonneries. I’ve split them up among my friends.” The following year La Porte Chinoise, a shop selling various Japanese goods including prints, opened in the rue de Rivoli, the most fashionable shopping street in Paris.

  • Yoshiwara (Pleasure District) Is Visible
    The Pleasure of Edo: Life in the Yoshiwara, March 24, 2000-June 18, 2000 After the Tokugawa shogun Ieyasu (1543 – 1616) established his political control of Japan in the early 17th century, a relatively long period of isolation, continuous peace, and economic development followed. The Tokugawa shoguns designated Edo (modern Tokyo) as their capital, and by the early 18th century the city was inhabited by over a million people. Its flourishing economy was fueled by the feudal lords (daimyō), who were required by the shogun to house their families in Edo and maintain permanent residences there. As the economy grew, the merchant class (chōnin) prospered and developed its own distinctive subculture, identified with the hedonistic pursuit of pleasure in the theaters, teahouses, and brothels of the city. Established in 1657, Edo’s newly licensed pleasure district (Shin Yoshiwara) was located in a walled compound in a suburb reachable by boat via the Sumida River, which ran through the center of the city. The famed beauties of the district set the fashion standard and were celebrated in woodblock prints hawked on the streets of the city. Exorbitant fees for the services of top-ranked courtesans could, over time, bankrupt even wealthy visitors. The woodblock prints depicting the great beauties occasionally were used as vehicles for social commentary on high culture. By parodying classical Chinese and Japanese literary and artistic sources, these pictures of the so-called “floating world” (ukiyo-e) of the Yoshiwara appropriated the cultural legitimacy of their elevated models and played at assuming a similar respectability. The group of prints assembled here depict aspects of life in the Yoshiwara in the late 18th and 19th centuries: the formal public processions of elaborately dressed courtesans, the teahouse entertainments attended by courtesans (prostitutes) and geisha (entertainers), and the preparatory rituals of assuming elegant dress, so necessary for women whose appearance ensured their livelihood.

Supervisor Tsung-Cheng Lin, Pacific and Asian Studies. Departmental Member iii Abstract Supervisory Committee M.Cody Poulton, Pacific and Asian Studies. Supervisor Tsung-Cheng Lin, Pacific and Asian Studies. Departmental Member The aim of this thesis is to examine and study Japanese traditional colours: gold and red for the Kanō school, blue and purple for the ukiyoe, including their symbolic meanings, pigments, how they were applied in art works and how they were related to Japanese aesthetics. This thesis is comprised of four chapters: the Introduction, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, and Conclusion. The introduction indicates the research purpose, theory, and research method. It also demonstrates the reason why the four colours and the two schools were selected. A combination of western colour theory, represented by Goethe, and Asian colour theory, represented by Five-elements theory and Confucius, is used in the following studies. In Chapter 2, studies on the colour gold and red for the Kano school are presented.
