A SIGNED SURIMONO DEPICTING A MAN CARVING BAMBOO A SIGNED SURIMONO DEPICTING A MAN CARVING BAMBOO Japan, 19th century Color woodblock print on paper. Presumably signed Shindai sha. The surimono depicts a seated man busy carving stalks of bamboo, a screen with a cherry blossom to the back. SIZE of the sheet 16.7 x 24 cm Condition: Good condition with minor wear and slightly trimmed margins. Slight browning of paper, tiny stains, washi-tape to one edge, and minor creases and folds. 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.
