Item Details
Description
  • Title: Shoda Koho - Boy and Ox
  • Period: 1910s-1930s
  • Medium: Woodblock print on paper
  • Size/Format: Ko-tanzaku (3"x13.5")
  • Description: Pillar prints, or ko-tanzaku, are a format that creates beautiful challenges for the artist and their compositions. In this print Shoda Koho utilizes the 3" wide by 13" tall format to capture a scene of a small child playing the flute, while riding a water buffalo (or ox) under a full moon. The print is full of exquisite detailing in the bokashi shading and the delicate treatment of the bamboo/reeds. This print is Hasegawa Catalog Number 1570 from the series "Japanese Scenes on Tanzaku".
    The Composition
    Vertical, narrow prints are a by-product of traditional Japanese architecture, which offered very few solid wall surfaces. Many times, the only solid surface available for the hanging of pictures, were the structural posts which held up the roof. "Pillar prints" became a genre unto themselves and were referred to in Japanese as hashira-e or tanzaku.
    The Woodblock Print
    This print is in very good condition with strong color, no fading, discoloration, or foxing to be seen. The print is minus its margins, but that is typical for prints within this series. A "Made in Japan" stamp is on the verso; this stamp was used after World War I and until before World War II and was applied to prints that went mainly to the United States.
