Jakuchu Parakeet

Posted by Dave Bull on March 14, 2006 [Permalink]

Here's another one under consideration for production. (Considering how slowly the first couple of prints are coming along, it's a bit silly to put too many things into this 'Up and Coming' section, but I think it's worth getting the chance for feedback/comments ...etc.)

This is a print after a design by Ito Jakuchu. A series of these birds against jet black backgrounds was put out by the Shima Art Company. These may have been copied from an earlier Meiji-era series, I don't know ...

I like the 'graphic' aspects of this very much, and I think I'm not alone. The Urushibara Stork that I put into my 5th Surimono Album received a very good reaction from collectors.

A print of this painting was given to my parents when they were married in 1927. I have long treasured it and it hangs in my home.
