‎Mirror of a Young Man's Ambition/Self-Improvement. ????? ?????‎

‎Tokyo Daikokuya Matsumoto Heikichi ??? ???? 1901 Première édition. Magnifique livre-dépliant (??, orihon) illustré de gravures sur bois coloriées à la main, intitulé ????? (Danshi Risshi Kagami). Le terme « risshi » (l'idéal d'amélioration personnelle et d'ambition pour les jeunes hommes) était un concept important de l'ère Meiji. Il comporte douze illustrations sur double page retraçant le parcours d'un jeune homme à travers la vie. De ses amis d'enfance, à son éducation, en passant par la cour et le rejet, la rencontre avec un homme d'affaires occidental et une visite chez un prêteur sur gages. À une extrémité du leporello se trouvent des pages de garde, à l'autre, un catalogue des livres pliants colorés publiés par Matsumoto Heikichi. 17 cm x 11,5 cm. Les plats d'origine recouverts de soie sont quelque peu frottés et légèrement tachés. Le livre a été protégé par un nouvel étui à rabats muni de fermoirs en os japonais et d'une étiquette sur la couverture (bien que, curieusement, celle-ci ait été laissée vierge). Un magnifique exemple d'impression coloriée à la main de l'ère Meiji. Les illustrations montrent la transition de la culture japonaise traditionnelle vers la modernité. Le mélange de la vie traditionnelle et occidentalisée de l'ère Meiji en fait un document social véritablement intéressant ainsi qu'une uvre d'art. ?????? Meiji 34 (1901). Miyagawa Shuntei (????, 18731914). Il signait ses uvres Shuntei Gyoshi ou Shuntei Kanjin, ce qui signifie littéralement « homme de loisirs ». C'était un graveur sur bois de l'époque Meiji qui a vécu la majeure partie de sa vie à Tokyo. L'uvre de Shuntei offrait un aperçu de la vie quotidienne des familles aisées de cette période.‎

‎First edition. A beautiful hand coloured woodblock print folding leporello (??, orihon), ????? (Danshi Risshi Kagami) The term "risshi" (the ideal of self-improvement and ambition for young men) was an important Meiji-era concept. With twelve double page illustrations showing the progress of a young man through life. From his childhood friends, education, courtship and rejection, meeting a western businessman, and a visit to a pawnbroker. To one end of the leporello are end papers, to the other, a catalogue of Matsumoto Heikichi's published coloured folding books. 17cm x 11.5cm. The original silk covered boards are somewhat rubbed and a little stained. The book has been protected with a new portfolio case with japanese bone clasps and a label to the cover (although curiously, this has been left blank). A beautiful example of Meiji era hand coloured printing. The illustrations show the transition from traditional Japanese culture to modernity. the mix of traditional and Westernised Meiji life make this a genuinely interesting social document as well as a work of art. ?????? Meiji 34 (1901). Miyagawa Shuntei (????, 18731914). He signed his work Shuntei Gyoshi or Shuntei Kanjin, literally meaning "man of leisure." He was a Meiji-period woodblock print artist who lived most of his life in Tokyo. Shuntei's work offered a glimpse into the daily lives of affluent families during this period. It is tempting to make comparisons between Shutentei's "Mirror" and Hogarth's "A Rake's progress." Both chart the journey of a young man through life, but whilst Tom Rakewell is an example of dissolution and held up as a cautionary tale, the young man in the "Mirror" is far more of a good example to follow. .‎
