Notes |
Clark 1992 As the inscription next to the signature says, this is one from a set of seven paintings of women, and one wonders what the other subjects might have been. The woman stands in front of clumps of cotton rose ('fuyo') and the so-called courtesan flower ('ominaeshi'), with its crests of small golden blooms; both are flowers of autumn. She looks back at the already snow-covered graceful peak of Mt Fuji and is about to compose a poem describing the scene, and there may be a reference here to famous poets of the past who composed poems to the sacred mountain, such as Ariwara no Narihira in 'Tales of Ise' or the itinerant monk-poet Saigyo Hoshi. The shape of the eight protrusions on the peak of Mt Fuji was sometimes likened to the shape of an open cotton rose flower. The form of signature and seals is similar to that in the well-known painting 'Courtesan Takao' (Freer Gallery of Art), dated by Narazaki ('us', vol. 16 (1981), no. 57) to the late Tempo era (1830-44). Literature: '(Hizo) Ukiyo-e taikan' ('Ukiyo-e Masterpieces in European Collections'), ed. Narazaki Muneshige. Vol. 1, Tokyo, Kodansha, 1987, BW no. 42. |

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient.
