Description
Shimbun Nishiki-e 1972 Description [Product Introduction] Published by Mainichi Shimbun in 1972, this book is a valuable reference collection covering Shimbun Nishiki-e, a visual media format that enjoyed explosive popularity during the early Meiji era. Shimbun Nishiki-e refers to news-related multi-color woodblock prints that depicted sensational news, gruesome incidents, and social transitions during the period of Civilization and Enlightenment, before photography became the standard for newspaper reporting. This volume contains numerous works that vividly reflect the social conditions of the time, effectively conveying the feverish and chaotic atmosphere of the transition from the Edo period to the Meiji era. Notably, many of the sensational news illustrations that enthralled the public were created by renowned Ukiyo-e artists such as Tsukioka Yoshitoshi and Ochiai Yoshiiku. Their works, often featuring the dramatic and intense style known as Muzan-e (bloody prints), possess significant artistic value while serving as crucial historical records. By utilizing traditional Ukiyo-e techniques to dynamically depict the influx of Western culture and the changing lives of people during Japan's modernization, this book serves as an essential archive for Japanese art historians and vintage art collectors seeking to understand the unique aesthetic sense and social structure of 19th-century Japan.
