Original Yoshitoshi (1839 - 1892) Japanese Woodblock Print
No. 7, the Sixth Shogun, Lord Ienobu and No. 8, the Seventh Shogun, Lord Ietsugu

Series; Fifteen Generations of a Great Family Tree, 1875

Fifteen Generations of a Great Family Tree - Terrific woodblock print featuring two chuban designs from Yoshitoshi's rarely seen series "Fifteen Generations of a Great Family Tree." The series depicts the fifteen Tokugawa shoguns, along with a second image of Tokugawa Ieyasu and his four generals, needed to make an even number of pages for printing. Realistically drawn and rendered with vibrant color, these handsome images illustrate famous episodes from the lives of these great leaders, including scenes from courtly life, hunting, and military campaigns. The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has this series in its collection. An interesting series we've never offered before, in rare uncut format.

No. 7, the Sixth Shogun, Lord Ienobu and No. 8, the Seventh Shogun, Lord Ietsugu - The top design features Shogun Ienobu looking on as three men bow before him, a young sword bearer behind him. Below, the young Shogun Ietsugu learns to ride on a wooden horse. He became shogun at the age of three after his father died, but sadly died at the age of six.
