Some of the most inspired gifs — and acts of appropriation — we've seen lately are Segawa Atsuki's incredible animations of pre-modern Japanese prints here. We find this version of The Great Wave, Hokusai's iconic woodblock from the 1800's curiously soothing, as though we were IN that boat riding waves. We imagine ourselves on that boat riding the waves...Here's a more serene boatride across a river to cool out your day.We sometimes put these 'Kites flying' on a separate web page as we work; they curiously bring in lovely see breezes.via BoingBoing via Gif Magazine
"Illustration of Flowering Cherry Blossoms at Ueno Park." (Right-hand plate.) "Illustration of Flowering Cherry Blossoms at Ueno Park." The politics of Japan - both internal and international - were complicated and very troubled at the time of the Meiji Emperor's accession in 1867. According to the Nihon Shoki, the classical history of Japan, the nation has had an emperor since 660 BC, but for almost seven hundred years prior to the Meiji Restoration, Japan was actually controlled by a Shogunate, the emperors revered but virtually powerless. But with the forced opening of trade with the United States in the 1850s, the old systems of government had proved unequal to Western aggression, and the power of the Shogun was under attack. Finally, in 1868, after more than a decade of unrest, the new Emperor - still only fifteen years old - made a formal declaration of the restoration of his power, a restoration of practical imperial rule in Japan. In the following years, he oversaw radical changes in the country's political, military, and social structures, as Japan transformed itself from a feudal and isolationist society into a modern international power. "A Mirror of Japan’s Nobility - The Emperor Meiji, His Wife, and Prince Haru." Chikanobu's images of the Emperor, the Empress, and ladies of the Imperial court are a vivid example of the ruler's push to Westernize Japan. Court dress and uniforms for men, based on European models, were decreed only three years after the Restoration. Soon, too, fashionable, upper-class ladies, inspired by the Empress, took up wearing Western dress in public. And in 1886 - just prior to the images here - the court set out rules for ladies' formal wear. (None of these examples are of formal wear.) Ironically, Chikanobu, who so brilliantly described the lavish European fashion in his work here, came to greatly regret the changes in his country, the ever-escalating Westernization, the loss of its traditional culture.

Born in Niigata Prefecture as Hashimoto Naoyoshi (橋本直義), he was the eldest of two children, his father a retainer of the powerful Sakakibara clan of samurai in Echigo Province. He showed artistic abilities as a young child and was given lessons with respected teachers. He also trained in the martial arts, and after the collapse of the Tokugawa Shogunate, he joined the Shōgitai, an elite fighting corps, and became famous for his bravery in battle. In 1871, three years into the Meiji era, he established himself in Tokyo as a professional artist. He had studied several genres of art making, but was most drawn to ukiyo-e. His subject matter displayed great variety, ranging from Japanese mythology to battle scenes to ladies' fashions, from scenes of natural disasters to actor portraits. He illustrated events both contemporary and historical. He was very successful, but by the last decade of the century, he and much of his audience were becoming dismayed by the rapid changes taking place in Tokyo and were increasingly nostalgic about the lost world of the Shogunate, and his later work reflects this nostalgia. His last works featured retrograde images of the brave samurai and heroic women of Japan's past, and by 1905 his production of work had dwindled. He died of stomach cancer at the age of seventy-five.

Master the playful art of shadow puppetry with a little help from Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858). The prolific ukiyo-e artist, who is best known for his poetic woodblock prints of the Tōkaidō and views of Edo, also created an instructive series of omocha-e, or toy pictures intended for kids, that demonstrates how to twist your hands into a snail or rabbit or grasp a mat to mimic a bird perched on a branch.

artwork by Ippitsusai Buncho at Scholten Japanese Art entitled Otani Hiroji III as III as Kudo Suketsune
Artist: Okumura Masanobu Year: 1906 Pubilisher: Shinbi-Shoin Description: Size: about 22×39cm (1cm≒0.39inch, picture size) The antique original woodcut print, Washi paper. *Ukiyo-e School Series of Painting（浮世絵派画集） Japanese woodblock print was, as being replaced by colored print, to decline. The Ukiyo-e School Series of Painting is a masterpiece with the highest quality in the history of woodblock printings, published in the Meiji era, when many skilled craftspeople were present and coloring paint with woodblock was thriving. Although many Ukiyo-e works were mass products in those days and produced by about 10-time printings, this Ukiyo-e School Series of Painting expresses surprisingly sophisticated depth of color through 70-to-200-time printings. This is a work of art with the heart and soul of Shi-ichi Tajima, completed with the most skilled craftspeople — therefore the work per se can be call an art of completion. Tajima’s spirit is reflected in the colophon: “The color printing in this series shows the reality of the original work most excellently, and it has done everything for duplication to fulfill its exhaustive quality. Its outstanding elaboration and uniqueness are what we can by ourselves proudly affirm with no doubt. As it could not have been completed without the devotion of all those who engaged in this work —painters, engravers, printers etc, their names are listed here…” The attitude to list all their names down deliberately also shows his confidence in the quality of the work.
