About This Item
1946. [WOODBLOCK PRINT] ONCHI Ko^shiro. "UENO DO^BUTSU-EN [UENO ZOO]" Image 24.4 x 18.2 cm. This image, created by Onchi for the Nihon Hanga Kyo^kai, originally appeared in Sept. 1929 in an edition of 50cc., signed and sealed by Onchi, as part of the series SHIN TOKYO HYAKKEI. This impression, however, appears to have been that included in the TOKYO KAIKO ZUE series, which was published by Fugaku for the Nihon Hanga Kyo^kai in 1946, in this case using the original Onchi blocks. It would seem that no signature was called for in the TOKYO KAIKO ZUE series, but this print is signed by Onchi (in Kanji) in pencil on the lower right margin. An interesting example of Onchi's representational style. Refs: Austin, SHINTOKYO HYAKKEI - THE EASTERN CAPITAL REVISITED BY THE MODERN PRINT ARTISTS in "Ukiyo-e Art" #14, 1966.; Merritt & Yamada, pp.268 & 277. Good impression with some slight browning on the reverse.
