| Note: | Tachibana Morikuni: A leading eighteenth century painter, illustrator and writer, Tachibana Morikuni was a master of both Kano and Tosa styles. A student of Tsuruzawa Tanzan, Morikuni lived and worked in Osaka. His major illustrated books include, Ehon Koji-dan (1714), Morokoshi Kimmo-zui (1719), Ehon shaho-bukuro (1720), Gaten tsuko (1727), Honcho gaen (1729), Utai gashi (1732), Ehon o-shuku-bai (1740) and Unpitsu soga (1749). Horses originates from the last named volume. |
| Unpitsu soga, a three volume set, was actually published a year after Tachibana Morikuni's death. Unpitsu soga (translated as, 'the Moving Brush in Rough or Rapid Painting'), dealt mostly with studies of animals, birds and flowers. Designed in the academic Kano style, these woodcuts are very early examples of producing graduated tones and lines by scraping the blocks in order to simulate the effects of actual brushwork. This technique is clearly seen in this beautiful woodcut of horses. | |
