Item from the Mokuhankan Flea MarketYamagoe Amida Size: 29.0cm by 20.5cm (11.42 in by 8.07 in) | Enlargement | Shipping Code: [L] ? Designer: Genshin Era: Taisho | Currency: $ / £ / € Price:  Description: Part of a monthly subscription series of three woodblock prints issued by the Yamato Hanga Kanko-kai in ca. 1924. The original of this print is a part of 'Decent of Amida Over the Mountain' and is a colored silk hanging scroll produced in the 13th century. It is currently a national treasure of Japan and is kept at Zenrinji Temple (Kyoto). The wrinkles and gold of the hanging scroll are reproduced in detail. Note: this print was made back in the era when Japan's industries were opening up to Western ideas and influences, and used what would these days be called a 'mixed media' approach in its creation. Some parts of the image were put onto the paper with the collotype printing technique, based on photography from the original design. This part of the process would include registration marks, and once the collotype was printed, the paper would be trimmed to those marks, and other areas of the design then printed by hand from woodblocks in the traditional manner. There are some traces of glue removal at the top of the backside.     Browse thumbnail pages of various selections from the catalogue ...
