Artist: KIYOCHIKA KOBAYASHI Kobayashi Kiyochika ( 小林 清親 September 10, 1847- November 28, 1915 ?) was a Japanese ukiyo-e painter and printmaker of the Meiji period .[1] Kiyochika is best known for his prints of scenes around Tokyo which reflect the transformations of modernity. He has been described as "the last important ukiyo-e master and the first noteworthy print artist of modern Japan... [or, perhaps] an anachronistic survival from an earlier age, a minor hero whose best efforts to adapt ukiyo-e to the new world of Meiji Japan were not quite enough". [2] The son of a government official, Kiyochika was heavily influenced by Western art, which he studied under Charles Wirgman .[3] He also based a lot of his work on Western etchings, lithographs , and photographs which became widely available in Japan in the Meiji period. Kiyochika also studied Japanese art under the great artists Kawanabe Kyōsai and Shibata Zeshin .[4] Title: Nihon Meisho Zue "Matsushima" Size: 25cm ×37cm Condition: FINE fine colors and impression ,not backed with paper.Please see photos for details.
