Item from the Mokuhankan Flea MarketWoman by the River Bank Size: 29.2cm by 21.6cm (11.50 in by 8.50 in) | Enlargement | Shipping Code: [L] ? Designer: Okubo Kyosen Era: Pre-war | Currency: $ / £ / € Price:  Description: This image is based on the folktale of Minamoto Raiko and his retinue, who disguised themselves as yamabushi (mountain priests) heading to Oe-mountain in pursuit of the demon named Shuten-doji (酒呑童子). On their journey, they encountered a woman who had been abducted by the demon and was washing clothes stained with blood. She happened to be one of hostages kidnapped by the gang. The artist appears to be Okubo Tadanobu Kyosen (大久保忠舒巨川), as the letter "Kyosen-Ko" (巨川工) is seen in the lower right. We wondered what the "工" indicates. Some resources say that he used that signature when he designed the image and commissioned another artist to draw it. Some research suggests that he asked Harunobu to collaborate many of his artworks. Therefore, this piece might have been drawn by Harunobu.    Remains of backing paper on top right and left corners.    Browse thumbnail pages of various selections from the catalogue ...
