Description

This old Japanese woodblock triptych is by Meiji era woodblock print artist Yōshū (Hashimoto) Chikanobu. This woodblock is entitled "New Year's Kagamibiraki Ceremony" and is taken from the series 'Chiyoda no on omote (The central office of the Edo castle).'

It records a Kagami biraki ceremony where mochi rice cakes are broken and eaten. The full triptych can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art & the British Museum.

For further reading, see 'Chikanobu: Modernity and Nostalgia in Japanese Prints' by Bruce Coats. 

Supplied in a vintage black plastic frame which reflects the price.

Print Size: 72 x 34.5 (wxh cms)
