An Ode to the Ukiyo-e Umbrella: Koitsu Tsuchiya's Woodblock Print Is Making a Splash Β π―π΅π
This exquisite print captures a tranquil, rainy evening in Tokyo with a profound sense of atmosphere. A lone figure in a vibrant blue kimono walks under a vermillion umbrella, their silhouette reflected in the glistening, wet street. The glow of a large, circular lantern marked with the kanji for "Tsuchiya" casts a warm, inviting light on the scene, juxtaposed with the subtle, cool tones of the evening. It is a moment of serene beauty, immortalised forever in ink.
Koitsu Tsuchiya (1870-1949) was a master of the shin-hanga (new prints) movement, which revitalised traditional Japanese ukiyo-e art with modern Western influences. His works are celebrated for their intense realism and masterful use of light and shadow, and this piece is a prime example. The print's original title, "Jinrakuzaka at Ushigome," refers to a specific slope in Tokyo. The subtle gradations of colour known as bokashi are expertly applied throughout, showcasing the exceptional skill of the original carvers and printers. This particular art print is a posthumously created impression from Koitsu's original blocks, ensuring it captures the artist's original vision with remarkable fidelity.
