OGATA GEKKO: SPARROW FEEDING ON CHERRY BLOSSOM OGATA GEKKO: SPARROW FEEDING ON CHERRY BLOSSOM By Ogata Gekko (1859-1920), signed Gekko with seal Japan, 19 th century, Meiji period (1868-1912) Color woodblock print on paper.

Mounted on a paper with tape to the top, behind a passepartout. Provenance: From an old private collection in England. Ogata Gekko was a Japanese artist best known as a painter and a designer of ukiyo-e woodblock prints. He was self-taught in art, won numerous national and international prizes, and was one of the earliest Japanese artists to win an international audience. Gekko was self-taught in art, and began decorating porcelain and rickshaws, and designing flyers for the pleasure quarters. His early style shows the influence of the painter Kikuchi Yosai. About 1881 he took the surname Ogata at the insistence of a descendant of the painter Ogata Korin. He soon was designing prints and illustrating books and newspapers. In 1885 Gekko exhibited in the Painting Appreciation Society, and he became acquainted with the art scholars Ernest Fenellosa and Okakura Kakuzo. The square shishikiban format appears to have been a favourite of Gekko's. Over 60 prints appear in his oeuvre in this size. Museum comparison: A closely related print, with similar seals, is in the collection of the Edo-Tokyo Museum, document number 88004209.
