Item from the Mokuhankan Flea MarketThe Bridge at Ryogoku (Set of 6) Size: 29.0cm by 19.0cm (11.42 in by 7.48 in) | Enlargement | Shipping Code: [L] ? Designer: Kitagawa Utamaro Era: Post-war | Currency: $ / £ / € Price:  Description: These prints date from the 1970s/80s, and were made by the Kajikawa workshop, which was hired to produce a folio containing 20 triptychs (60 prints all). They were made at a reduced size (29.5 x 19.5cm) from the original Edo-era prints, which were in the large o-ban format. As part of that large project, they decided to include a special group of prints - a set of six designs created by Utamaro in the 1790s. Each of the six prints actually stood alone as an independent design, but when placed in a group, they formed a single large image - Edo townspeople on, and below, the bridge at Ryogoku. So we too have collected these together, and are selling them as a group of six. How to display them? The original prints back in the Edo era were printed with no margins, so they could easily be mounted together (pasted on a backing sheet, etc.), but these prints have quite wide margins, so it is not so easy to make a single panorama from them … Well … that’s your challenge! (More information on the design can be found on this Wikipedia page).
Each set of three is tipped onto a paper mat (lightly pasted at the top corners):         The paper mat has begun to develop slight foxing here and there - nothing on the prints yet. The prints should not be stored in this way for much longer; they need to be removed from this cheap mat paper ...    Browse thumbnail pages of various selections from the catalogue ...
