The Fall colors are coming! 🍂😊

Ansei Uchima (1921-2000)
Forest Byobu: Fall

Una Johnson (1905-1997), the Curator Emerita of Prints at the Brooklyn Museum, wrote regarding Uchima's 'Forest Byobu' series: "It skillfully records in strong abstract images the progression of a visual diary of considerable scope. Composed of layers and remembered landscapes, it is set within great depths of space where intensified colors are burnished by time and assume the radiance of light. Dark columns stand within other areas of pale or muted colors to create a subtle interweaving of abstract forms."

Utagawa Toyokuni I (1769-1825)
Coming-of-Age Ceremony of Kintaro, ca. 1790-1800

Kintoki (Kintaro) is a Japanese folk hero with a friendly demeanor and superhuman strength. Abandoned at birth in the Ashigara Mountains by a ronin, Kintoki was raised by the deity Yamauba who named him Kintaro (lit. Golden Boy). Later in life, he was taken under the wing of warrior Minamoto no Yorimitsu and became one of his four legendary retainers.

This print depicts Kintoki becoming the retainer of Minamoto no Yorimitsu in a coming-of-age ceremony. It is thought to be a mitate-e in which all figures except Kintoki are depicted as bijin (beautiful women).
