Great video. I particularly liked the scrolls, especially _Fujin_ by Kyosai. I'm not entirely sure of what I'm seeing, but really love the composition. Then the _Urashima Taro_ by Yoshitoshi and _Clear Weather After Snowfall_ by Hiroshige. These prints enveloped me in peace and made my day.
Hey Jeff, thanks for your comments. Yes, the Fujin is a bit difficult to make out because of the perspective and sketchy style. Glad you liked the prints!
@@jeffreyoldham55yes, traditional Japanese homes had alcoves specially made for small shrines, ikebana and hanging scrolls. It was a focal point of the room
It's an original but it's a "Memorial edition" so this series was printed after his death in 1891. You can see the original 36 views from 1858 at hiroshige.org.uk/36_Views_Mount_Fuji/36_Views_Mount_Fuji.htm

Question:
Are the scrolls meant to be displayed, and if so...how?

nice video..! veery interesting scrolls and prints, congratulations!
These are awesome! would you mind me asking what online auctions you look at for these ukiyo e?
yahoo japan auctions and Invaluable are 2 of the many places I look for prints.
Might the shiny paper be gampi. Not common but was and is still used by a few for woodblock prints.
@@mokuhanga1 thanks for the tip, I’ll look into that.
Hey I've got a question about the Hiroshige print in your store that’s glued to a Kunichika print. Is the Hiroshige print original or a reprint?
