Kono Naotoyo
Bairei (幸野楳嶺) (1844–1895)
“Plate 30: Hibiscus”
and “Plate 31: Daylily”, 1890, published by Tanaka Jihei (and later
by Yamada Unsodo) in Kyoto (Kyoto-shi) in the four-volume series of 200
woodcuts, “Chigusa no Hana” 千種の花 (Flowers of a Thousand Varieties). I understand
that that these impressions are from the first colour edition and that there
was a black and white edition published in 1889. (Note that there may be inaccuracies
in my description and I apologise if this is the case.)
Colour woodblock
prints on fine buff washi paper.
Size: (each
sheet) 23.8 x 15 cm.
Condition: both
sheets are strong and well-printed impressions in near pristine condition with
no tears, holes, folds, abrasions or significant stains.
I am selling
this pair of original polychrome woodblock prints for a total cost of AU$300
(currently US$201.19/EUR193.66/GBP167.52 at the time of this listing) including
Express Mail (EMS) postage and handling to anywhere in the world, but not (of
course) any import duties/taxes imposed by some countries.
If you are
interested in purchasing these masterworks of colour woodblock printing from
the late 1800s, please contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will
send you a PayPal invoice to make the payment easy.
