About the Item

"Plovers at Tamagawa" from "Six Jewel Rivers" - Woodblock Print on Paper This print, sometimes titled "Chidori No Tamagawa" "Plovers at Tamagawa", is from the series Mu Tamagawa ("Six Views of Tama River", also known as "Six Jewel Rivers" or "Six Crystal Rivers") by Kubo Shunman (Japanese 1757-1820). Three women stand by the Tama River while plovers dive overhead. Two of the women, perhaps a courtesan and a village girl, smoke their pipes. A strong breeze is blowing and the leaves of the Japanese maple tree to the right suggest it is autumn. The scenery is echoed in the river design in the kimono of the woman at the left, with a delicate embossed pattern. The series by Shunman represented rivers in six provinces - Ide (Hagi) no Tamagawa in Yamashiro, Mishima (Tôi or Kinuta) no Tamagawa in Settsu, Noji no Tamagawa in Omi, Kôya no Tamagawa in Kii, Chôfu no Tamagawa in Musashi, and Noda (Chidori) no Tamagawa in Mutsu (depicted in this print). Each of the rivers was associated with a classical poem. This print was the second from the left in Shunman's series of six prints, which could be placed next to each other to make a hexaptych. Artist's signature and red ink chop in the lower right corner. Presented in a wood frame with a cream mat. Frame size: 21"H x 16"W Paper size: 15"H x 10"W
