Japan, dated 1891

In this bright moonlit scene, the courtier Minamoto no Nakakuni playing a flute and discovering the hiding place of the court lady and skilled koto player Kogo in Sagano, while she was in exile in a hut in Soga moor, from 'The Tale of the Heike'. Blindprinting to sections of the robe and the white tile cartouche.

Condition: Good condition with minor wear and slight browning of paper. The colors slightly faded. Very minor creasing to the corners. Slightly trimmed margins. The back reinforced with washi tape to one side and backed with Japan paper.
Provenance: From the estate of Sear Hang Hwie Pao (1937-2009). Pao was one of Canada’s leading dealers of Chinese porcelain and works of art. His antique store, Pao & Moltke Ltd., owned together with his wife Mrs. von Moltke, who descended from a German and Danish noble family, was a fixture in Toronto’s trendy Yorkville area from the 1980s to early 2000s.

Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) was one of the leading woodblock print artists during the Meiji era (1868-1912) and one of the last to work in the traditional ukiyo-e manner. Born in Edo (today’s Tokyo), he showed a strong interest in classical Japanese literature and history. When he was 11, he became a student at Kuniyoshi Utagawa’s studio. Under his teacher’s guidance, he showed exquisite draftsmanship skills and learned how to draw from life, something not necessarily part of the training schools of painting and illustration in Japan.

This print is part of Yoshitoshi's famous series One Hundred Aspects of the Moon, which consists of one hundred prints with the moon as a unifying motif and depicts scenes from traditional Chinese and Japanese history and lore. Prints from the series were released individually or in groups every few months, with the final image completed shortly before Yoshitoshi's death. The series proved tremendously popular, with patrons lining up to purchase the new releases as soon as they became available. Today, One Hundred Aspects of the Moon remains Yoshitoshi's most well-known work.

Emperor Takakura was infatuated with the beautiful Kogo no Tsubone, who served his wife, Empress Kenreimonin. Kenreimonin felt if Kogo had a son by her husband the child could be a risk to the throne. The empress gave orders to poison Kogo, so she ran away. The emperor was so upset that he ordered that Kogo be found. The courtier and flute player Nakakuni, who had performed with Kogo – a brilliant koto (zither) player – rode on his horse around the countryside looking for her. Here, in this bright moonlit scene, Nakakuni is playing the song Sofuren (‘love for the husband’) on his flute. He finds her as she responds to his tune on her koto. She ultimately returned to the emperor, had a baby girl, and was sent away to become a nun.
