Sotatsu, indubitably one of Japan s five greatest painters, is to the world of Japanese art the same enigmatic, timeless figure that Shakespeare is to English literature. Producing some of the most forceful and influential paintings of seventeenth-century Japan, he played a decisive role in teh formation of an original, decorative, and specifically Japanese style, free of Chinese domination. Yet it is only in teh past few decades that art historians have, as in the case of El Greco rediscovered Sotatsu s genius adn begun to piece together a picture of the man himself. Certainly the strength of his abstract design brings him close tot he decorative style so admired today, making him again the significant figure he formerly was."

[Kyoto 1930's, Kincho-Bo. Large sheet: 38.3 x 26.3 cm., silk gauze on stiff Washi [hand-made] paper,color woodblock print lower margin shows bold red Hanko [chop] reading, a tribute to a work after Tawara Ya Sotatsu, very clean & bright. RARE . *** *** *** . . . AN UNUSUALLY FINE EXAMPLE IN DELUXE LARGE SIZE . . . A STUNNING COLOR WOODBLOCK PRINT OVER FINE SILK GAUZE . . . A 1930'S TRIBUTE PRINT OF TAWARAYA SOTATSU DESIGN . . . A SHIN-HANGA FAN . * A tenderly colored Uchiwa [fan] print. With lovely purple- pink background with a touch of gold-flecking. The background at the bottom continues the 'wave' pattern with pastel-green. The fan is outlined in black, showing hydrangea flowers in blue with a sprig of leaves. At the lower right of the fan is a very bold red Hanko [seal or chop] with two Kanji reading Inen, Sotatsu's seal. . . In the lower margin are three sets of Japanese Kanji and Hiragana characters, from the right to left: . a. Sotatsu Hitsu: brush-painted by Sotatsu b. Center Hiragana reads: Ga Ku c. Left 3 Kanji reads Kinchobo Company, the printer & publisher. . *** UNUSUAL MEDIA: This exceptionally unusual work is not the ordinary Japanese woodblock print. What makes this highly unique is the very fine gauze-silk cloth laid down on the Torinoko Washi [hand-made] mulberry paper. . The effect is the print looks more like a painting that a traditional woodblock print. The use of gold-flecking was strictly used on special paper for paintings. There are virtually no known examples of woodblock prints using such a difficult and costly technique. . *** A TRIBUTE COLOR PRINT TO THE GREAT PAINTER & ARTIST TAWARAYA SOTATSU [?-1643?]: . Sotatsu was an early 17th century painter, and co-founder of the Rimpa School of painting. Sotatsu began to work as a fan-painter in Kyoto. Later, he rose to work for the court as a producer of fine decorated papers for calligraphy. He was highly influenced by Kyoto's courtly culture. Sotatsu met the great designer and calligrapher Hon'ami Koetsu, and painted under-designs in gold and silver for his writing. Sotatsu excelled in projects that needed careful placing of decorative screens and fans, and took this to its highest level. Quoted from WikiPedia below. . Takeshita greatly admired the artistic and composition skills of the master painter Sotatsu and the Rimpa School. He was not only artist who admired Sotatsu. Sotatsu is perhaps the single most respected and skilled artist of his time. . Takeshita created a tribute to the great artist Sotatsu and his fan paintings. Sotatsu was well-known for his excellent fan paintings, these inspired Takeshita. . *** CONDITION: This unique example is in the best of collector's condition. It is beautifully preserved, flawless as issued. The colors are beautifully executed in mutinously in perfect register, giving the impression of a real fan floating on a pastel background. . The verso is very clean, with evidence of Baren swirling rub marks, the result of rubbing the paper against the woodblocks in the printing process. This is a good sign. . The print may have been attached to a Kinchobo Company mat when published, there is very faint and mild bit of loose fibers along the upper verso edge, of little consequence or impact. . Kinchobo matted most of his prints to enhance presentation. Some came with a description, mostly in English as a separate sheet loosely tucked into the back of the print and the mat. We speculate this may have been the case for this example. . *** Please visit our website to see the photos. . *** REFERENCES: . ROBERTS, Laurance P.: A DICTIONARY OF JAPANESE ARTISTS: PAINTING, SCULPTURE, CERAMICS, PRINTS, LACQUER, p.163 has a very long biography and article on Sotatsu. * Sotatsu:
