This is one of the Tokyo Meishozu-e, depicted Yumeiro, a famous Japanese restaurant. Gas lamps and lanterns are visionally lit in the darkness. The view with a bridge seen from the river is really like Ukiyoe, but the dim light of the gas lamp would make you feel the times of Meiji.
Good condition, color and impression
Kobayashi Kiyochika (1847 – 1915) was a woodblock print artist.
His childhood name was Katsunosuke. He studied oil paintings and Japanese paintings under British painter, Charles Wirgman and Kawanabe Gyousai and Shibata Zeshin respectively.
Kiyochika started his career as an ukiyo-e artist. Light and shadow are beautifully depicted in his artworks. Gorgeous sunsets, brilliant sunrises, soft lights illuminated along the river depicted in his works deeply touch the viewer’s heart. He gained his fame when he created a new genre of western style woodblock paints called “Kousen-ga” which employs new techniques to express light and shade.
He is also well known for sarcastic multi-color printed cartoon series (Nishiki-e Manga) called “Kiyochika Ponchi”.
