Description :
Tuesday, 13 September 2005 Evening at Kiyamachi during the Daimonji Festival Lot AU56 Artist: Miki Suizan Format: Dai-oban tate-e: 16.75" x 11" Subject: Miki Suizan designed bijin-ga prints whose style shows the influence of ukiyo-e portraiture. Born in Hyogo in 1887, he became a pupil of the well known artist Takeuchi Seiho in 1903. Ten years later, he showed nihon-ga paintings in the 7th Bunten of 1913. Around 1924, Miki worked with the Kyoto publisher Sato Shotaro on the design of six bijin-ga and eight landscape prints, carved by Maeda and printed by Oiwa. Suizan's prints were exhibited the following year along with prints by Yoshikawa Kanpo, also published by Sato Shotaro. Prints by both artists were included in the 1930 Toledo exhibition. Miki continued to participated in the Bunten, Teiten, and Shin Bunten exhibitions until 1942. He died in 1957. Although his prints are of traditional subject matter, they have a modern feeling, combining highly detailed portraits with abstracted landscapes. This bijin design is from his early period. This example is from the first limited edition (stamped red seal on verso), and unlike later editions bears his signature and seal on the lantern top left. Publisher: Sato Shotaro Date: 1924 Condition: Full size. Paper, as uaual, a little toned in top margin and on verso. Minor marks and flaws. Generally good state. Colour: Very good Impression: Fine with extensive gauffrage
