Kyosai - Kyosai's Gadan
Kyosai - Kyosai's Gadan
This is an original woodblock from Kawanabe Kyosai's autobiographical treatise of painting and drawing, Kyosai Gaden (Kyosai's Account of Painting) published in 1887 by Iwamoto Shun. This is a page from this famous book, printed on very thin mulberry paper. Here we can see the layers of drawing showing the underlying human forms in black and the layers of kimonos on top drawn in redline.
Note that the frame is not included. You can find these acrylic frames on Amazon.
Condition: Please look at the print closely since it has some insect damage (Japanese Deathwatch Beetle) that has been restored somewhat with Edo era paper and archival tape. The print is not backed. Due to the thin paper, I suggest putting the page on a white background in order to show the print the best (as pictured here).
Size: 6.5" x 9"
Date: 1887

Dear Mr. Richard, opening the package and seeing the incredible bright colours and ornamental abundance of Yoshitoshi's diptych, it was just as printed today! It will be a pleasure to get more of your fine selected prints.
