Series; One Hundred Ghost Stories of China and Japan, 1865
Lord Teishin with a Demon behind a Screen - Terrific image of Lord Teishin walking through a palace as a demon peers at him from behind a screen of reed blinds. The nobleman continues on his way, appearing not to notice the red horned creature crouching behind the blind and leering at him. Teishin wears a black robe with a beautifully detailed burnished scroll pattern over full blue hakama pants, a diamond print sash trailing on the floor behind him. He wears a tall court cap and carries a wooden staff denoting his status. A handsome design with wonderful color and detail, also in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Artist - Yoshitoshi (1839 - 1892)
Image Size - 8 5/8" x 13 1/4"
Condition - This print with excellent color and detail. Faint horizontal crease. Some light rubbing and soiling at edges. A few small holes repaired from reverse. Please see photos for details. Nice overall.
A Country Estate - Over three days we’ll be offering the collection of a Japanese gentleman who collected primarily Yoshitoshi and Kuniyoshi prints of tales, warriors, and ghosts. We love those themes at Fuji Arts and Yoshitoshi and Kuniyoshi are two of our favorite artists. The prints are all fine early impressions with beautiful color. They’ve been stored only, never displayed.
The collection was brokered this fall by a contact of ours and came from the Japanese countryside where the collector lived. These prints have not been in the market in decades and are being offered at Fuji Arts for the first time outside Japan. Watch for the collection to post over three days. The collection will post in its entirety, about 60 designs, in three days.
