A SIGNED SURIMONO DEPICTING DUCKS ON A RIVER AND CALLIGRAPHY A SIGNED SURIMONO DEPICTING DUCKS ON A RIVER AND CALLIGRAPHY Japan, 19th century Color woodblock print on paper. Horizontal chuban. Signed Mitsu […]. The surimono depicting ducks swimming among reeds, a small pavilion to the shore, all under the light of the full moon. With rows of calligraphy. SIZE of the sheet 25.5 x 19.3 cm Condition: Good condition with minor wear and browning of paper. Tiny holes, minor creasing, some folds, and light soiling. Gently mounted on a passepartout. Provenance: From the private collection of Thomas Padua, Mühldorf, Germany. Thomas Padua was an artist and collector of Japanese woodblock prints who exhibited his surimono collection at the Olaf Gulbransson Museum, in ‘Glückwünsche aus Kyoto: Japanische Shijo-Surimono aus der Sammlung Thomas Padua,’ 3 November 2013 to 26 January 2014. Surimono, literally "printed matter", are high-quality, limited-edition, privately commissioned, woodblock-printed "greeting cards," mainly produced between the 1790s and the 1830s, and usually ordered for New Year's greetings. Surimono usually paired poetic texts with images, and both were typically intended to carry the cachet of "insider knowledge" for a cultured and well-educated audience.
