Wednesday, 18 February 2009 YOSHIDA, Hiroshi (1876-1950) At the Zoological Garden: Kibatan Parrot (Sulphur-crested cockatoo) Signed: Hiroshi Yoshida (in ink) Seals: artist seal of Hiroshi Yoshida, and red jizuri ('self-printed') Dated: Taisho 15 (1926) Size: dai oban tate-e (c. 41 x 28 cms / 16 1/8" x 11") -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Condition: Excellent impression, colors and condition. - Rare. The cockatoo's feathers created by embossing (*) (unfortunately, not visible in our illustrations) ref. no.: # 61 1944 Price: ? 2,500.00 In this design of a cockatoo Yoshida together with his carvers and printers achieved some of the most spectacular effects in Japanese printing: the concave lines for the cockatoo's feathers were created by paper embossing. Accentuating certain print details by embossing is seen in prints by other artists, as well, but what makes this effect so convincing here, is the subtle way in which it was done. In combination with the background of circular lines the birds seem to become very 'three-dimensional'. These circular lines are called baren lines since they are made by rubbing a baren in a circular motion on a block. Yoshida employed artisan carvers and printers at his atelier and directly supervised them. He also attempted elaborate trial printings of his own. - Each print with Yoshida's warranty received the marginal stamp jizuri and was published by Yoshida himself.
