KITAGAWA UTAMARO: A LOT WITH TWO WOODBLOCK PRINTS KITAGAWA UTAMARO: A LOT WITH TWO WOODBLOCK PRINTS By Kitagawa Utamaro (c. 1754–1806) Japan, c. 1790s-1800s, Edo period (1615-1868) Color woodblock prints on paper. Vertical oban. 1. One sheet of triptych. Signed Utamaro hitsu. Titled Women Engaged in the Sericulture Industry. Depicting stages of silk production by female workers: stretching silk and floss on posts, hanging them on a line. SIZE of the sheet 36.7 x 25.2 cm Utamaro's fundamental curiosity about women was not limited to any one group or activity. In this print, he shows us women working in silk production, an important occupation for women and an important part of the Edo economy. Its composition reads more like a tableau vivant, with the workers merely suggesting their activities. 2. Signed Toyokuni ga. Titled Actor Ichikawa Yaozo as Obiya Nagaemon and Actor Iwai Kumesaburo as Shinanoya Ohan. SIZE of the sheet 36.3 x 23.8 cm Condition: Presenting well, with wear and browning of paper. Fading of colors, creasing, folds, and few wormholes and losses with associated repairs. One sheet backed with Japan paper. 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. Museum comparison: Compare a closely related print of women engaged in sericulture, one sheet of triptych, in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number JP2731.
