Laura G, Sassy 70’sUtagawa Hiroshige (Japanese, 1797–1858). New Year's Eve Foxfires at the Changing Tree, Oji, No. 118 from One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, 9th month of 1857.

However, here he has ventured into the world of spirits. It was believed that on New Year's Eve all the foxes of the surrounding provinces would gather at a particular tree near Oji Inari Shrine, the headquarters of the regional cult of the god Inari. There the foxes would change their dress for a visit to the shrine, where they would be given orders for the coming year. On the way, the animals would emit distinctive flames by which local farmers were able to predict the crops of the coming year.”

Laura G, Sassy 70’sJuly! A new month, a new art history theme. For July, my theme is light in the darkness. Today we have Fireworks at Ike-no-hata (Ike-no-hata hanabi), by Kobayashi Kiyochika (Japanese, 1847–1915), Publisher: Fukuda Kumajirō, 1881, woodblock print (nishiki-e); ink and color on paper, 23.8 × 33.6 cm (9 3/8 × 13 1/4 in.), Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/arthistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#arthistory</a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/asianart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#asianart</a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/woodblockprint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#woodblockprint</a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/woodblock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#woodblock</a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/printmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#printmaking</a>From the Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art: ‘On September 3, 1868, the city called Edo ceased to exist. Renamed Tokyo (“Eastern Capital”) by Japan’s new rulers, the city became the primary experiment in a national drive toward modernization. Kobayashi Kiyochika (1847–1915), a minor retainer of the recently deposed shogun, followed his master into exile. When he returned to his birthplace in 1874, Kiyochika found Tokyo filled with railroads, steamships, gaslights, telegraph lines, and large brick buildings—never-before-seen entities that were now ingrained in the cityscape.Self-trained as an artist, Kiyochika set out to record his views of Tokyo. A devastating fire engulfed the city in 1881 and effectively ended the project, but the ninety-three prints he had completed were unlike anything previously produced by a Japanese artist. Avoiding the colorful and celebratory cityscapes of traditional woodblock prints, Kiyochika focused on light and its effects. Dawn, dusk, and night were his primary moments of observation, and his subjects—both old and new—are veiled in sharply angled light, shadows, and darkness. To accommodate this new way of seeing, Kiyochika effectively invented a visual vocabulary that incorporated elements of oil painting, copperplate printing, and photography. Interest in Kiyochika’s prints revived in the 1910s, when Tokyo intellectuals began to interpret the series as a critique of modernity.’

Laura G, Sassy 70’sYour art history post for today: The Foxes' Wedding (Kitsune no yomeiri), from the album Tawamure-e (Playful Pictures), by Adachi Ginkō (1853–1902), ca. 1884–85, woodblock print (nishiki-e); ink and color on paper, 12 x 18.2 cm (4 3/4 x 7 3/16 in.), this impression in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/arthistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#arthistory</a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/woodblock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#woodblock</a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/woodblockprint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#woodblockprint</a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/asianart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#asianart</a>From Wikipedia: ‘The term "kitsune no yomeiri" can refer to several things: atmospheric ghost lights, in which it appears as if paper lanterns from a wedding procession are floating through the dark; sunshowers; or various other phenomena that may resemble wedding processions and are referenced in classical Japanese kaidan, essays, and legends. The kitsune no yomeiri is always closely related to foxes, or kitsune, who often play tricks on humans in Japanese legend; various Shinto rituals and festive rites relating to the kitsune no yomeiri have been developed in various parts of Japan.’

The calaveras are so expressive and what they're expressing is alive.
