Text from Collectors Website:
Gordon Brown introduces us to the Tansu, the traditional Japanese
piece of furniture for storing things.
When the Shoguns and the samurai class were at the height of
their power during the Edo period (1600-1868), the merchant class
flourished and their new wealth led to a boom in the production of
tansu or chests for storing a variety of items.
They come in all shapes and sizes, in many timbers, and ingenious
and beautiful designs. Today they are highly collectable, being
very decorative and extremely useful, a good combination.
Kabuki Theatre
Posters
by Torii
Kiyotada VIII (1900-1976)
From the famous Torii family, the primary lineage of
artists and promoters associated with the Kabuki Theatre houses
since the early C17th. The family is partly responsible for
bringing the rich Kabuki culture from Osaka to Edo (Tokyo) in the
late C17th. The family's work had great influence on the ukiyo-e
woodblock print movement, and some kabuki posters are still
produced by members of the family today.
Four paintings dating to the 1960s, 146cm x 92cm.
Currently offered unframed.
(two earlier posters from the family are also available).
