Title: The actors Arashi Kichisaburo III, Onoe Tamizo and Jitsukawa Ensabura in an unidentified play?
Creator: YOSHITAKI, Ichiyôsai (1841-1899)
Seller: L'Estampe Originale (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: c.1862. Chûban Triptych. In fine condition with fresh colors. Each print is 241mm x 170mm. An example of a conventional though successful print. Yoshitaki's chûban-size triptych (circa 1860-1864) is well printed with some metallic highlights. It depicts a scene from Tôkaidô Yotsuya kaidan ("Tôkaidô Ghost Story at Yotsuya"), first performed at the Nakamura-za, Edo, in 7/1825. This dramatization was the most famous play written by Tsuruya Nanboku IV (1755-1829), considered the master of the ghost story genre, or kaidanmono. His successes also included plays about outlaw heroes. Tôkaidô Yotsuya kaidan and the pitiful character of Oiwa were very popular subjects in nineteenth century ukiyo-e. Yotsuya Oiwa was married to a dissolute rônin (masterless samurai) named Tamiya Iemon who kills her father. Later Iemon decides to marry a neighbor's daughter, Itô Oume, after he tires of Oiwa. The Itô family provide a "potion" (actually a poison) to ostensibly aid Oiwa in her post-partum convalescence. She is terribly disfigured by the brew, learns of her husband's treachery, and finally dies by accident brought about by an unbearable desire for revenge. In the final act Iemon is haunted by the ghosts of Oiwa and others he has murdered, and finally he is killed himself by Oiwa's brother-in-law Yomoshichi (or driven to suicide by the ghosts in another version of the story). Yoshitaki's portrayal is dark and foreboding for this scene from Tôkaidô Yotsuya kaidan at the Chikugo Theater, Osaka, in 8/1860. Nakamura Kanjaku as the villain Tamiya Iemon stands in the center as he is confronted by (R) Arashi Rikaku as Sato Yomoshichi and (L) Nakamura Jakuemon as Naosuke Gonbei. The postures of the actors are not particularly expressive, but, overall, the design does evoke at least in modest measure the imminent threat of retribution against Iemon. For another design by Yoshitaki, see Fading of a Yoshitaki Print. ©1999-2001 by John Fiorillo Yoshitaki was a prolific artist who began designing woodblock prints while still a teenager. By the early 1860s, when barely into his twenties, he had already become a much sought-after print designer. Unfortunately, Yoshitaki and other late-period artists are often associated with the decline of the Osaka actor print. This assessment is still widely held today, and indeed, much of Yoshitaki's work appears rather conventional and mannered. Critics have suggested that this depreciation in quality was caused, to some degree, by the pressure to produce large quantities of designs to satisfy the demands of publishers who were eager to cash in on the popularity of the kabuki theater. This was at a time when, arguably, there were relatively few highly skilled portraitists. (The same had been said, however, about the so-called "decadence" of early nineteenth century Edo ukiyo-e). There exists an informative article written by Yoshitaki's son, Kawasaki Kyosen, describing in some detail the practices of late-period Osaka print production that sheds some light on the working habits and attitudes of print designers and publishers. In any case, Yoshitaki managed to produce some attractive and effective designs, many issued in deluxe format.

Condition: g-
Description: Amsterdam: Yaccov Proops, 1781. Third edition. Hardcover. g-. Quarto. [2] 52 double-sided leaves. Rebacked in modern brown leather spine over original period brown leather boards. Gilt lettering and ruling on the spine. Modern endpapers. Profusely illustrated throughout with copperplate engravings. Includes both an initial illustrated title page with copperplate engravings surrounding the text (Ma'aleh Bet Horin) and a printed title page with decorative woodblock borders and the publisher's device. In addition to the Hebrew text, a few sections throughout are in Judeo-German (Yiddish) printed in Vaybertaytsh script. This third edition of the famous Amsterdam Haggadah, found the work reformatted into a smaller size, and saw the title officially changed to Maleh Beit Horin (meaning "house free men"). Most of the same famous copperplate engravings by Abraham ben Jacob (aka Abraham bar Yaccov), that previously appeared in the 1695 and 1712 editions, are retained here. The two images added to the 1712 second edition are included (the illustrated order of the Seder, and the complete ten plagues), but four of the full series of images included in the first two editions are not present. These missing images are Abraham smashing the idols of his father, Moses receiving the Ten Commandments a Mount Sinai, Moses and Aaron coming to Pharaoh, and the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.* In our copy the engraved title and three other other engravings contain contemporary hand-coloring (the rabbis of Bene Brak, the Four Sons, the angels visiting Abraham). The text of this third edition replaces the complete running commentary from Isaac Abravanel of the earlier editions, with 3 additional text commentaries. These include the "Gevurot Hashem" from the Maharal of Prague (Judah Loew ben Bezalel), writings by Rabbi Moshe Alshich, and "Olelot Ephraim", a collection of ethical homilies by Rabbi Shlomo Ephraim Luntschitz. However Abravanel's commentary is present following Yishtabach through the end of the Seder, and in the initial six-leaf section preceding the text of the Passover seder which discusses the laws of Passover. This copy is lacking the original engraved map of the Holy Land at the rear, as it was originally issued. Binding with some rubbing and abrasions to the original boards and spine. Interior with heaving staining to pages throughout, with text still legible. Biding and interior in in good- condition overall. Hebrew title: מעלה בית חורין, והוא סדר הגדה של פסח Alternate Hebrew title: הגדה של פסח: כמנהג אשכנזים וכמנהג ספרדים Publication: יעקב פרופס, אמשטרדם, תקמ"א Alternate transliterations: Ma'ale Bet Horin, Ma'ale Beit Khorin, Ma'ale Beit Chorin, Ma'ale Beit Horin, Bibliographic references: Yaari 199, Vinograd: Amsterdam 2113, Yudlov 300, Yerushalmi: Plate 75 *This contravenes the statement made by Yerushalmi (Plate 75) that all of the engravings of the previous editions are retained.

Unpaginated. 5 separate accordion-fold text blocks created by the 5 students (Alexandra Chappell, Anne Marie D'Agostino, Jane Park Wells, Julie Trei, and Lusky Chandra) attached to the case with magnets, each text block with a variety of typefaces, and illustrations created with linoleum block and acrylic gel; text clean, unmarked. Two colors of blue book cloth over boards, printed paper front cover label, magnetic closures at the edges; binding square and tight. SIGNED on the colophon by Ms. Maryatt and the 5 students. SCARCE. LH823-012. Fine. LIMITED EDITION of 50 copies, this is number 40, SIGNED by Ms Maryatt and the 5 course participants on the colophon. This is the seventh title issued by Scripps College Press during Ms. Maryatt's tenure at the press. "Of all the characteristics that describe the nature of a typical book, such as bound paper pages, portability, information capture, and limited size, one of the most essential elements is sequence. Just try to make a completely non-sequential bound book! So students were asked to focus particularly on the development of sequence and progression, including paying attention the integration of the text with images. Subjects included the pages of the moon, the metamorphosis of a butterfly, sharing a stream of consciousness, longing for the love of a father, and the lonely progression of time." Maryatt, Sixty Over Thirty, p. 25. Students "investigated placing their stories into various page structures, where the unfolding of the structure aided the sequential revealing of the story. The imagery was created by brushing or hand applying acrylic gel medium freely on linoleum blocks, cut or uncut, or by gluing fabric to the block in selective positions. Each story was sewn into an accordion folded bookcloth, which was attached to covers with magnets. You can open the book at the spine or fore-edge, or both, to be able to display the pages either flat against a book case or fully in a circle. The paper is Somerset Satin, with various typefaces used in the stories." Scripps College Press website, accessed 10, 23, 2023. REFERENCE: Maryatt, Sixty Over Thirty, pp. 24-27. 16 copies OCLC.
