Tanigami Konan Seiyo Sofa Zofu Original Woodblock Japan Description The work by Tanigami Konan (1879-1928) celebrates the seasons. It is called Seiyo Soka Zofu , or a Pictorial Book of Western Flowers 1917 and was very carefully researched to include a huge variety of western flowers. Please note that these prints are all original authentic woodblock prints. Each one measures approximately 14 1/2 inches by 10 3/4 inches and is on creamy paper with the central fold as issued, with a few being slightly more toned, or with reinforcement on the back of the print. Artists and printers in Japan were losing their living due to changes & decided to pursue the Western market, reformulating their art in such a way that it would appeal to the Western eye and taste. Heavily influenced by the Impressionist movement in France, they incorporated light and shade into their art along with Western concepts of perspective, in the Shin Hanga movement. The topics of the movement are universally appealing: botanicals, landscapes, birds, animals and beautiful people. The Konan prints are particularly vivid and lush, with extravagant displays of all the very best flowers - tulips, lilies, daffodils, crocus, iris and all the numerous splendors of the botanical world. It is definitely the abundant style of the West versus the more restrained and elegant style of the East. In Japan, an arrangement of five flowers and a few leaves is considered very satisfactory, whereas this would certainly be viewed as a little sparse by most of us!
