A tribute to the Ukiyo-e Master undervalued Koryusai
Introduction
Isod Koryusai (c.1735-90) originally a samurai became, after the death of his master, the lord of Tsuchiya, called Ronin (a knight without a lord) and a variable man. The Most of these people "floating" ended in the shallow water, but Koryusai chosen to be a painter and illustrator woodcuts. At first it was probably a disciple Nishimura Shigenaga (1697-1756), but his friend and master of ukiyo-e Harunobu (c.1725-1770) had the greatest influence on his work. It gave the fire Harunobu (User ID) Koryusai, whose real name Masakatsu, which he himself had once used in the past. The respect and admiration for his teacher was so great that Koryusai developed his own style is Harunobu who died. It stuck in print sizes and types of Ukiyo-e, particularly in the print format and pillar shunga (Erotic) type will be treated in the following paragraphs.
Pilar Print
Koryusai achieved remarkable results in the print format and long, narrow pillar (hashira-e) with a unique style of rich, vivid colors and products Shopping for the reintroduction of the use of opaque orange (so) that had characterized the work highlights the past. Also used vertical size of this format to give the appearance of a hanging scroll (kakemono) purchase some stratification. As in the landscape classical Japanese painting from the eyes of the viewer from beginning to the bottom of the main image the eye to the middle, the upper depiciting the background. In general hashira-e are rare because at the time attached to the wooden columns in the context of Japanese domestic and therefore more susceptible to damage. But because to the high amount of impressions Koryusai terminal designed in this format of many of his drawings have survived.
Erotic work
"In color and line to create the overall atmosphere of physical love, the best color erotic prints are unparalleled Koryusai in Japanese art, which explains, in particular, the high esteem in which is celebrated among connoisseurs – For some people always have pursued the cult of erotic art as assiduously as the Japanese. (Lane, Richard)
In Harunobu and during the period of government activity Koryusai censorship was rather weak, giving the opportunity to experience in the genre of shunga. Sometimes designs are often signed their positioning in the context of a sliding door or screen. Early work Koryusai resembles that of Harunobu, but gradually developed his own style with vibrant color features (the famous orange!), Expressing vitality and multicolored figures representing more realistic. Wood artists first worked in the format Chub (approximately 265 x 195 mm) to large format presented Koryusai Oban (Approximately 390 x 265 mm) color printing in the multi-media to create two color sets called sensual masterpiece, a pitch Phoenix in the field and has twelve of Love ", which have been published in ca.1775. Chuba In his famous series format is the most" Flores prosperous of the elegant twelve seasons (ca.1773) representative of romance for the twelve months.
Conclusion
Looking literature on the history of Ukiyo-e and in particular, the artist Koryusai we realize the general consensus among critics in his excellent craftsmanship, originality and pioneering in Japanese art. With worldwide recognition of his genius to the question of why is so underrated is far more explicit. Probably one of the reasons was the Koryusai modest personality and loyalty to his master and friend of Harunobu even sign his name. Jack Hillier poses an interesting theory in his book "The Japanese prints – A new approach when choosing:
"There is always, especially among collectors, a tendency to make comparisons between the artist and the artist, and perhaps Koryusai if we expect before and after and pine for what is not. "
