Title:	A Waterfowl Study (Mandarin Ducks under a Flowering Plum Branch)
Artist:	Kogyo, Tsukioka (Japan, 1869 - 1927)
Date:	1898
Medium:	Original Japanese Woodcut
Publisher:	Daikikuya
Note:	The woodcuts of the final decades of the Meiji era (1868 - 1912) are among the most distinctive and innovative in the history of Japanese art. The introduction of Western styles and influences (c. 1865) created a revolution in the woodblock print. Beginning with the art of Yoshitoshi, bold colour patterns and equally bold designs began to dominate the Japanese woodcut.
	Tsukioka Kogyo: Kogyo holds an important place in late Meiji art. The stepson of the great Yoshitoshi, Tsukioka Kogyo studied under this master in his youth. Later, he was a pupil of both Fuko and Gekko. Specializing in scenes from the Noh Theatre, history, contemporary life and bird and flower designs, Kogyo built a strong reputation for his brilliant use of colours and especially, his striking design concepts. No other Japanese artist of the woodcut had quite his mastery in the uses of space and line. This is clearly shown in this original woodcut.
	A Waterfowl Study (Mandarin Ducks under a Flowering Branch), like most of Tsukioka Kogyo’s designs, was published as a fine art print, and, although edition numbers were never listed at this time, it was probably published in less than an edition of two hundred impressions. Such subtle graduations of line and colour would not yield a larger edition. The scene depicts a pair of birds (ducks) resting under a flowering branch.
