Iokibe Kin'ichi, Terada Masaaki: Mokuhan ShigashÅ« äº"ç¾æéæ £ä å ºç"°æ"¿æ æ çè ç"»é [A Collection of Woodcuts with Verse - by Iokibe Kin'ichi and Terada Masaaki] Terada Masaaki å ºç"°æ"¿æ, artist and Iokibe Kin'ichi äº"ç¾æéæ £ä , author Kyoto FÅ«butsushisha é¢ ç è 社 Showa 35 [1960] Published by FÅ«butsushisha é¢ ç è 社. Numbered 21 of a limitation of 100. 14 sheets approx 39 x 48.5cm with verse and prints in color. The title is printed in green on a sheet 51.4 x 41.4cm and the colophon is printed on a separate sheet 51.7 x 41.6cm, for a total of 16 sheets. Incomplete; 1 sheet is missing. The sheets are housed in a large navy blue portfolio 52 x 42.5cm with ribbon ties and a printed title slip. A lovely collection of original woodblock print pairings of poetry and artwork. The poetry is by a well-known poet, Iokibe Kinichi äº"ç¾æéæ £ä (1913-1978), who was a woodcut artist himself, and the woodcuts are by award-winning artist Terada Masaaki å ºç"°æ"¿æ (1912-1989). Terada, originally from Fukuoka prefecture, was an early member of the Independent Art Association (Jiyu Bijutsu Kyokai èªç"±ç¾è¡"å"ä¼ä¼å"¡), participating in an exhibition with future members in 1937, just weeks before the group was officially founded. He was also a founding member of the Japan Artists Association (Nihon Bijutsuka Renmei Kaiin æ¥æ ç¾è¡"å® é£çä¼å"¡). The verse and artwork pay homage to a Japan that was vanishing even as the set was being created. Each poem is accompanied by a design that speaks to the words - a sharp-beaked bird, fallen leaves, a landscape with an electric train, a brilliant Red Spider Lily, a blue-gray fish, and other lovely illustrations. The poem/print titles are as follows: åå ShotÅ [Early Winter], éµå± Kagiya [Locksmith], é§ Eki [Train Station], è軽é»é Kusakaru Dentetsu [Kusakaru Electric Railway], é¢ é» FÅ«in [Elegance], ç æ¿¤ Shitao [Shi Tao], ããã Arare [hail], å æ¥å°æ Fuyubi ShÅkei [Winter Sun], æ æ¥ SÅshun [Early Spring], ãã¡ãªã Kushinashi [Gardenia], å½¼å è± Higanbana [Red Spider Lily], ééå ã®é® Uono Kawa no Ayu [Sweetfish from the Uono River], åå¤ Shoka [Early Summer] and ææ ¥ã®ç"º (伿 ¥) Aizu no Machi [Town of Aizu]. A rare collection that appears to be incomplete; only one set was found online in OCLC database. Lovely images created with words and woodcuts. Very fine condition.
