Models for Painting - Born in Edo in 1830, painter Taki Katei became known for his beautiful kacho-ga or paintings of birds and flowers. He was appointed an Imperial Household Artist in 1893, and completed many Imperial commissions and works for both national and international exhibitions. His "Models for Painting" (Tanjo Ippan) was originally published in 1894 in a set of five volumes with twelve prints each. Rendered with wonderful calligraphic line work ranging from bold to delicate, these designs convey a sensitivity to and respect for nature. Some images are heightened with soft colors, while others resemble traditional sumi ink paintings. Subjects include flowers, plants, fruit, animals, and birds, along with landscape views. Several depict suiseki, small naturally formed rocks that are appreciated for their beauty and shape. The prints in this group are from a later edition.

In order to purchase from our Ultimate Clearance, you must purchase a minimum of $25 worth of prints. This means, that you can either buy Ultimate Clearance prints as a group or simply purchase a single Ultimate Clearance print as well as any other normally priced item from our listings.

All prints offered in our Ultimate Clearance are Japanese woodblock prints - either original or reprints (please see photos, reprints are obvious). All of our woodblock prints are printed from wood blocks produced by hand. When we offer these prints so inexpensively, we do not offer any description or condition report - we have to let our excellent photos do all the talking, so be sure to look carefully at the photos.

While you're shopping, keep in mind that some condition issues could simply be framed out, some could be easily repaired, and others just allow you to enjoy owning a 19th century original at a bargain price. Of course, many prints are in excellent condition, just needing to be cleared out.

So, check out all the clearance offers and find prints that suit your taste.
Enjoy the Clearance treasure hunt!
