KATSUSHIKA HOKUSAI: TWO PRINTS FROM THE SERIES CARICATURES OF RIDDLES KATSUSHIKA HOKUSAI: TWO PRINTS FROM THE SERIES CARICATURES OF RIDDLES By Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) Japan, early 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868) Color woodblock prints on paper. Horizontal yotsugiri. From an untitled series of Caricatures of Riddles. 1. Titled the Optician and the Riddle-Solving Priest. Illustrating a priest, a mere boy, pointing and laughing at two people whose eyes become bigger after putting glasses on. A further form of humor is created by homonym wordplay—using two verbs that sound the same but have different meanings—to wear glasses (kakeru) and to pose a riddle (kakeru). SIZE of the sheet 17.5 x 11.5 cm 2. Titled Mystery Giga Collection, Bad Shogi. Three men in a tussle over a toppled Shogi board which has fallen to its side. SIZE of the sheet 17.4 x 11.4 cm Condition: Good condition with wear and browning of paper. Smudging and soiling. Slightly trimmed margins. Firmly mounted on paper. The mounting with few wormholes. Provenance: Family collection of either Felix Tikotin (1893-1986) or his son-in-law Louis (Loek) Borensztajn (1935-2021), Netherlands. Felix Tikotin (1893-1986) was an architect, art collector, dealer, and founder of the first Museum of Japanese Art in the Middle East. He became one of the world’s leading collectors of Japanese art, starting at the age of 18, and continued to collect and work as an art dealer in Berlin in the 1920s. In the 1930s Felix Tikotin fled from the Nazis and hid his collection in the Netherlands. After the war, he decided that his collection should be taken to Israel, where in 1959 and with the help of Abba Hushi, who was the mayor of Haifa, The Tikotin Museum of Japanese Art was established. The Museum's collection comprises more than 8,000 items of art and crafts. Katsushika Hokusai (1760 – 1849) is one of the most renowned and influential artists in Japanese history. Born in Edo (now Tokyo), Hokusai began his career as an apprentice in a woodblock print shop before venturing out on his own to pursue his passion for art. Over the course of his career, Hokusai created a vast body of work that included not only woodblock prints but also paintings, sketches, and illustrated books. His oeuvre is characterized by a relentless experimentation with style and technique, as well as a deep appreciation for the natural world and the beauty of everyday life.
