Toyohara Kunichika (1835-1900) is considered one of the last great ukiyo-e print designers of Japan. His evocative works helped shape some of the most significant prints from the latter era of ukiyo-e and burgeoning Meiji nishiki-e. I welcome back to the show Dr. Monika Hinkel, Lecturer in the Arts of East Asia at SOAS (the School of Oriental and African Studies) at the University of London and an Academic Member of the Japan Research Centre where we explore Kunichika's life and career. We discuss Kunichika's upbringing in Edo-period Japan (1603–1868), his training at the Utagawa School, and his evolution as an ukiyo-e artist. We discuss Kunichika's creative process, the woodblock production methods of the Edo and Meiji periods, and his favoured themes—kabuki actors, and beautiful women. We also discuss how Kunichika subtly incorporated Japan's emerging modernity into his designs. Lastly, Dr. Hinkel and I share our personal stories about why we have such an affinity for Toyohara Kunichika and his work.

Shin hanga artists focused on motifs like castles, bridges, famous landscapes, and bamboo forests. The style was initiated when Watanabe discovered Austrian artist Fritz Capelari (1884-1950) and commissioned him to design prints for Watanabe's budding printing house.

This significant breakthrough occurred in 1856 when Perkin was attempting to synthesize quinine, a treatment for malaria, from coal tar derivatives. Instead, he obtained a purple-colored substance while working with aniline, leading to the creation of the vibrant purple dye. napthols - are special dyes used in making colourful fabrics on handlooms. They get their name from a specific part in their makeup called an azo group. These dyes are known for making colors really bright and long-lasting on fabrics. They help create fabrics in lots of different colors, like orange, brown, yellow, scarlet, golden yellow, black, red, violet, and more.  orpiment -  sekiō in Japanese, is a bright yellow to orange-yellow mineral composed of arsenic trisulfide (As2S3). It has been historically used as a pigment in painting and for other decorative purposes due to its vibrant color. Often found in association with realgar, another arsenic sulfide mineral, orpiment has also been employed in traditional medicine and alchemy. However, its toxic nature limits such applications, and it's crucial to note that handling orpiment, especially in powdered form, poses health risks due to the presence of arsenic.

After Asano was forced to commit seppuku (a form of ritual suicide), his loyal retainers, the 47 Ronin, meticulously planned and executed the revenge, successfully avenging their lord's honor. The story is a celebrated example of bushido (samurai code) and loyalty in Japanese history and folklore. smalt - is a deep blue pigment that has been historically used in art and ceramics. It is composed of finely powdered glass, often colored with cobalt oxide to achieve its distinctive blue hue. Smalt was popular during the Renaissance and Baroque periods as a substitute for expensive blue pigments like lapis lazuli.

The relationships made in mokuhanga can last a long time. Whether it's a friendship based on collecting, creating, or its long and vibrant history; mokuhanga has the ability to bring people together.  On this episode of The Unfinished Print I have the pleasure of speaking to two people who's friendship is based on mutual respect, business, and the love of mokuhanga. Katherine Martin is the managing director of Scholten Japanese Art of New York City. She has overseen the galleries multiple exhibitions, written several catalogues published by Scholten, and is the heart of what goes on at the gallery. Paul Binnie is an acclaimed mokuhanga printmaker, painter and artist. He has collaborated with Katherine at Scholten Japanese art for almost fifteen years.  We first discuss Katherine's background, and her work with the gallery. Then, Katherine and Paul talk about the relationship between the gallery and the artist, the legacy of shin-hanga, how prints draw people in, and pricing Paul's work. We also discuss about editioning prints and the issues that may arise, nudity and social media, and we end on Katherine and Paul's unique friendships and how it works. This interview was recorded during Paul Binnie's solo show at Scholten Japanese Art in June, 2022. There may be some background noise during the interview. I apologize for any inconvenience.  Please follow The Unfinished Print and my own mokuhanga work on Instagram @andrezadoroznyprints or email me at theunfinishedprint@gmail.com  Notes: may contain a hyperlink.

Focusing on the foreign demand for “traditional” Japanese imagery and motifs such as castles, bridges, famous landscapes, bamboo forests, to name just a few.  Shin hanga was born in 1915 by Watanabe Shōzaburō (1885-1962) when he found Austrian artist Frtiz Capelari (1884-1950) and commissioned Capelari to design some prints for Watanabe's feldgling printing house . From there shin-hanga evolved into its own distinct “new” style of Japanese woodblock printing. It lasted as this distinct style until its innevitable decline after the Second World War (1939-1945). Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) - a designer of more than six hundred woodblock prints, Kawase Hasui is one of the most famous designers of the shin-hanga movement of the early twentieth century. Hasui began his career with the artist and woodblock designer Kaburaki Kiyokata (1878-1971), joining several artistic societies along the way early in his career. It wasn't until he joined the Watanabe atelier in 1918 that he really began to gain recognition. Watanabe Shōzaburō (1885-1962) had Hasui design landscapes of the Japanese country-side, small towns, and everyday life. Hasui also worked closely with the carvers and printers of his prints to reach the level Hasui wanted his prints to be.  Late Fall by Lake Yamanaka (1947) Tsuchiya Kōitsu (1870 - 1949) - apprenticed under artist and print designer Kobayashi Kiyochika (1847-1915), and worked as a lithographer. Kōitsu then joined the Watanabe atelier in 1935. Kōitsu also collaborated with Doi Sadachi publishers, amongst others.  Cormorant Fishing in Nagawa River (1940) Itō Shinsui (1898-1972) - Nihon-ga, and woodblock print artist and designer who worked for print publisher Watanabe Shōzaburō (1885-1962). Shinsui designed some of our most famous shin hanga, or “new” prints of the early 20th century. One of my favorites is “Fragrance of a Bath” 1930. Twelve Images of Modern Beauties: Cotton Kimono (1922) Hiroaki Takahashi Shōtei (1871-1945) - was a Japanese printmaker, illustrator and painter. He is commonly associated with the shin-hanga movement of printmaking in Japan, working with Watanabe Shōzaburō. His work touched on many subjects, such as landscapes, beautiful women and still-life.  Evening Sun at Nagareyama (1924-27) Yamamura  Koka (1885-1942) - was a Japanese woodblock printer and painter who trained under Ogata Gekkō (1859-1920). He worked with Watanabe and other publishers in his lifetime, and self published. His themes ranged from actor prints, lasdscape, and still-life.  Flowers of the Theatrical World: Nakamura Utaemon V as Owasa (1921) Natori Shunsen (1886-1960) - was a Japanese woodblock printer who focused much of his work on kabuki actor prints. He too worked with Watanabe.  Bando Mitsugoro VII (1950's) Yoshida Hiroshi (1876-1950) - a watercolorist, oil painter, and woodblock printmaker. Is associated with the resurgence of the woodblock print in Japan, and in the West. It was his early relationship with Watanabe Shōzaburō, having his first seven prints printed by the Shōzaburō atelier, that made Hiroshi believe that he could hire his own carvers and printers and produce woodblock prints, which he did in 1925.  Ishiyama Temple (ca. 1946) Sotheby's -  established in 1774 in London, England by bookseller Samuel Baker. It is the oldest auction house in the world, with offices located around the world.

The article discusses Watanabe';s relationship with Itō Shinsui.    bokashi -  is a Japanese term associated with the gradation of water into ink. There are several types of bokashi. For more information regarding these types of bokashi please check out Professor Claire Cuccio's lecture called “A Story in Layers,” for the Library of Congress, and the book Japanese Printmaking by Tōshi Yoshida, and Rei Yuki. Below are the following types of bokashi. This is from the Yoshida book: ichimonji bokashi - straight line gradation ichimonji mura bokashi - straight line gradation with an uneven edg.

Today it is a multi million dollar business and is almost exclusively run, professionally, by The Shochiku Company. Kabuki, the word, is separated into three different sounds; ka - meaning to sing, bu - meaning to dance, and ki - meaning skill. There are various families in kabuki which generate actors, passing down tradition throughout the lineage. For more information please read this fine article from Nippon.com. There are many books written on the subject of kabuki, but in my opinion, too begin, one needs to read Leonard Pronko's work Theatre East & West, Kawatake Toshio's Kabuki, and Earl Ernst's The Kabuki Theatre. Online please visit Kabuki21.com, who's site is unparalleled. On YouTube there is the new(ish) Kabuki In-Depth which is updated regularly on kabuki information and history, and is very well done.  giclee -  is a type of reporoductive process in printmaking.

kagayaさんをゲストに迎え、アメリカザリガニの自発性行動開始の脳研究における単一ニューロンの膜電位活動の記録とその形態染色技術の話、超高速パンチをするシャコの研究、リカレントニューラルネットワークの機械学習フレームワークであるリザバーコンピューティングについてお話をうかがいました。 (w/ mazさん)Guest (加賀谷の研究履歴) アメリカザリガニの自発性行動開始の脳機構研究(高畑雅一lab) 行動が外部感覚刺激ではなく自発内発的に生じるとき、その開始が起こる脳内機構を調べるため、ザリガニ脳内の単一ニューロンの膜電位活動を記録、形態染色の技を卒論時から9年間継続してようやく特定のニューロンが見つかった。 シャコの超高速運動の研究(Sheila Patek lab) 神経系が身体機構を通して環境に働きかけるメカニズムの研究として、超高速パンチをするシャコを研究。 カニの行動の個性の研究(Seto Marine Biology lab) 京大白浜水族館の飼育員の原田桂太さんがカイメンで帽子をつくるカニをシャコ水槽の隣でされていて、体のわりに小さすぎる帽子をつくってるカニがいたりして、行動実験とデータ解析を計画。ベイズ統計による解析。 ソフトロボット研究(中嶋浩平 lab→國吉中嶋 lab 2022-) 科研費の新学術領域ソフトロボット学に公募班で採用されて、ソフトロボット的研究開始。中嶋さんとは京大白眉、この領域でお世話になり、現在中嶋ラボへ。 Shownotes Katsushi Kagaya maz Researchat.fm mazさん回 (ep133) … “mazさんをゲストに迎え、自身の研究の変遷を軸に、バイオメカニクスのおもしろさを話していただきました。” ゆるふわ生物学 の シャコパンチ回 カニの行動の個性の研究 ソフロボ：ソフトロボット、新学術領域ソフトロボット学 リザバー: リザバー・コンピューティング(recurrent neural networkの機械学習法のひとつ) 中嶋さんの総説 北大水泳部 kagayaさんの輝かしい水泳の記録 … 勝手に貼ってすいません！(tadasu) 北大理学部生物学科 山本貴司さん 千葉すずさん イトマンオーストラリア遠征：年に一度、全国のイトマンスイミングスクールから選抜され豪州遠征があった。 近大附属高校：近畿大学附属高等学校。当時、普通科、理数科、国際科のほか、水泳をはじめスポーツによる活動を重視するクラスもあった。 「鳥が飛ぶようにヒトは言語をつかう」Steven Pinker, Language Instinct 高畑雅一 (たかはたまさかず)： kagayaの北大在籍時の先生 アメフラシの神経：キャンデル神経科学のエリック・キャンデルのアメフラシの神経系で学習の分子機構の研究 イカの神経: ホジキンとハクスレーはじめとする活動電位の発生メカニズムの研究が念頭にありました シナプス統合作用：中枢ニューロンは、複雑な形状をもった樹状突起をもって多くの他のニューロンとシナプスを形成する。細胞でのシナプス電位の空間的時間的分布は、シナプス部位からの解剖学的距離だけでなく、三次元構造、膜・細胞質の電気的性質、電位依存型イオンチャネルによるコンダクタンス変化などの影響を受ける。シナプスでの電流が細胞内をどう拡散していくかと合わせてこれらが「神経計算の実体」に大きな影響を与える。この入出力関係(計算)を決めている諸過程をシナプス統合作用という。 ザリガニの脳：kagayaが学部4年生のときに作成したザリガニの脳の組織切片の染色像 ザリガニ論文1：Kagaya & Takahata, 2010 ザリガニ論文2：Kagaya & Takahata, 2011 細胞内記録(イントラ)：ガラス管微小電極を細胞に刺入し、主にカレントクランプで細胞内外の電位差を測る。ガラス管内に蛍光色素を充填して細胞内染色をすることが可能。 マイクロエレクトロード(ガラス管微小電極)：シャープエレクトロードともいう。クラシックな手法。パッチ電極では細胞膜を密着させるが、自然に膜がシールするのを待つ。膜が破れて細胞を破壊してしまうことも。 カレントクランプ：電流固定法。電流を固定して、電位を測る。 細胞外記録(エクストラ)：ほぼスパイク(イントラの記録の活動電位だけフィルタされた電位記録)だけの記録。電極と細胞との位置関係、その他もろもろの複雑な細胞外液の状況に依存した記録になるのでスパイクのタイミングだけをデータとすることが多い。また、近くに複数の細胞があれば複数のスパイクが混じるので一つの電極に複数のユニットが混じるのでスパイク・ソーティングする必要がある。一方、イントラではシナプス活動と同時に活動電位も記録できる。が、細胞の刺さる場所が軸索だとスパイクしか見えない。ザリガニでは樹状突起の肥厚部が主なシナプス統合部でここに刺さればシナプス活動が見える。 パッチ電極をつかったパッチクランプ イオンチャネル ルシファーイエロー 下村脩 … Researchat.fm ep112を参照 下村脩先生がクラゲを採っていた様子 … 家族とクラゲを採っていた下村先生。写真に映っているお子様の一人は伝説のハッカーTsutomu Shimomuraさんである。 下村先生のクラゲ漁の伝説 … “海岸で朝６時から夜まで毎日、家族総出でクラゲを取り続け、１７年間で８５万匹も捕獲し分析。ごく微量しか含まれないＧＦＰが光る仕組みを突き止めた。” コマンドニューロン: ザリガニコマンドニューロンのレビュー “Fifty years of a command neuron: the neurobiology of escape behavior in the crayfish” アメフラシの水管刺激によるエラの引き込み反射 光遺伝学 神経軸索：シナプス活動によって生じる活動電位は、脊椎動物の運動ニューロンでは軸索の起始部で生じる。ここは活動電位を発生するための電位依存型イオンチャネルがたくさんあって閾値が低い。脊椎動物の細胞ではシナプスからこの部位までに細胞体が介在する。一方、ザリガニなど節足動物では細胞体はこの流れから離れたところにあってシナプス統合に関与しない。よって、統合部位として肥厚した樹状突起に電極を狙って刺入してシナプス統合作用を調べることになる。シナプス統合、つまり神経計算の結果発生した活動電位は軸索を伝導する。 下行性ニューロン：脳内に細胞体と樹状突起をもっていて脳を出て胸部へと軸索を伸ばしていく。 腹髄、囲食道縦連合：梯子型神経系の腹側を通る縦連合を腹髄という。囲食道縦連合は、食道を囲んでいる縦連合。左右をつなぐ連合を横連合という。 神経計算の実体：アナログ的な神経膜電位活動の記録について、 田渕さん並木さんの比較生理2019「神経回路の自発活動パターンとその機能的役割」に詳細にまとめられています キイロショウジョウバエ：いわゆるモデル生物のひとつ。 コネクトーム HHMI Janelia デンドライトdendrite: 樹状突起のこと。 ウチダザリガニ … ウチダザリガニと染色体の話は記念すべきResearchat.fm ep1で話しています。Researchat.fmはウチダザリガニと共に始まったと言っても過言ではない。 氷冷麻酔: 昆虫ではCO2が（も？）よく使われる印象がある (maz) クチクラ：外骨格表面 おおらかな指導：先生ははじめから10年かけてもいいとは思われてはいなかった、はず。 identifiable neuron、 identified neuron 同定(可能)ニューロン: Scholapediaに期待したらまだ書かれておらず「どなたかご存命の方に書いて欲しい」というようなことが。別の個体から得られたニューロンどうしであっても生理学的、形態学的に似ていて同一視できるニューロン。運動ニューロンだと筋肉との関係で厳密な意味で同定ニューロンになる。介在ニューロン、とくに中枢のニューロンになってくると生理と形態の情報の再現性の問題で同一視しづらくなる。なお、同定ニューロンであっても個体間変異が生じる。 Leland H.

En este episodio platicamos acerca de Higuchi Ichiyō (1872-1896), quien es conocida por ser “la primera escritora japonesa moderna”, y al mismo tiempo “la última escritora del Japón antiguo”. Para entender por qué se le llama de estas dos maneras, el Dr. Pazó nos explica el complejo contexto lingüístico que se vivía durante el periodo de modernización japonesa y de cómo la obra de Higuchi Ichiyō fue fundamental para la unificación de la lengua escrita y la lengua oral (genbun itchi). También nos platica acerca del género literario japonés de los "nikki" o diarios, y de la particular manera en que Higuchi Ichiyō lo exploró. El Dr. José Pazó Espinosa es escritor, traductor de japonés, francés e inglés a castellano y profesor de lengua española en la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid y en la New York University. Ha traducido, entre otras obras, "Botchan", de Natsume Soseki; "Recuerdos recobrados: memorias", de Kiki Montparnasse, y "Un occidental en Japón", de Donald Keene. Además, es autor del libro de poemas ilustrados "El libro de la rana" basados en un haiku de Basho. También ha publicado "El enigma de los espejos" y "Kuniyoshi. Un gato en el mundo flotante".

The Woman Beings sit down with industry professional and Berkeley film studies grad Kerwin Kuniyoshi to discuss feminist film theory. From Wonder Woman to It’s a Wonderful Life, Oceans 13, Psycho, Peeping Tom, Gravity, Pacific Rim... and even Transformers, hear how the portrayal and characterization of women has evolved throughout the years. While our favorite female directors - Ava Duverney, Patty Jenkins, Greta Gerwig, and others - have made incredible progress, have we truly made changes to the language of cinema? Or are we perpetuating the male gaze? The objectification of women? The oppression of non-whites? Listen in to hear some incredible discussions about some of your favorite films! Spoiler alert: Christian films are often some of the worst perpetrators.

“Voyage sur la route du Kisokaidō” de Hiroshige à Kuniyoshiau musée Cernuschidu 16 octobre 2020 au 17 janvier 2021Extrait du communiqué de presse :commissaire : Manuela Moscatiello, responsable des collections japonaises du musée CernuschiVoyage sur la route du Kisokaidō. De Hiroshige à Kuniyoshi est la première exposition proposée par le musée Cernuschi après sa réouverture à l'issue d'un chantier de rénovation de 9 mois. Elle rassemblera, à partir du 16 octobre, un ensemble inédit de près de cent cinquante estampes japonaises, dont certaines seront dévoilées pour la première fois au public. À travers un parcours rythmé par les différents relais de la route du Kisokaidō, un choix d'objets remarquables fera écho aux gravures exposées : armure, boîtes à calligraphie, katana, selle de bataille ou encore nécessaires à pique-nique seront présentés.L'exposition permettra de parcourir en images l'une des routes les plus spectaculaires du Japon : le Kisokaidō, qui était une des cinq voies du réseau routier créé au Japon durant l'époque Tokugawa (1603-1868). Elle reliait Edo (actuelle Tōkyō), où le shogun avait sa résidence, à Kyōto, siège de l'empereur. Contrairement à la route du Tōkaidō, qui rejoignait l'ancienne capitale en cinquante-trois relais le long de la côte, le Kisokaidō, jalonné de soixante-neuf étapes, traversait l'intérieur montagneux. Il suivait un itinéraire plus long, parfois plus pittoresque et ardu en raison de la présence de neuf cols escarpés.Entre 1835 et 1838 le Kisokaidō fit l'objet d'une série d'estampes réalisées par Eisen (1790-1848) et Hiroshige (1797-1858), dont le succès fut considérable. Deux autres séries virent le jour sous le pinceau de Kunisada (1786-1865) et de Kuniyoshi (1797-1861).La série d'Eisen et Hiroshige, ainsi que celle de Kuniyoshi, constituent les deux grandes parties du parcours de l'exposition.

At six years old he dreamt of living abroad. Doing what...it didn't matter. His dream was to travel the world, and live in another country. Did it come true, of course it did! Meet Kuniyoshi Ohtawara. He grew up in Tokyo, and while growing up, he watched in admiration, his close companion and cousin, who is a professional dancer, travel the world for her dancing. This inspired him to want to also get out of Tokyo and explore the world This story is not about traveling abroad per se, it's about how dreams come true. Why is this such an inspiring story?Firstly, This story is about how our calling finds us. Secondly, when we listen to the voice inside us, and we act on it, it leads us to destinations we never imagine, Thirdly, Kuni's beautiful life story shows us that, the journey, teaches us skills which in the end become our life's purpose. Kuniyoshi is a well known sushi chef in his area. People travel far to enjoy a meal at Hokkai Kitchen, or to order from their international fish market. He and his restaurant team attract customers from all over The Netherlands to come to his Kitchen and to be entertained and wowed by the flavours. The Restaurant, Hokkai Kitchen happens to be located, well... in the middle of nowhere, a shipping yard, so as Kuni says in his introduction, he feels he needs to make it worth their while when they come out of their way to his Kitchen. Come join us in this beautiful, calming, open, honest, and inspiring conversation.Want to Visit Hokkai Kitchen, go to https://www.hokkaikitchen.nl Want Inspirational Interviews at your next event / private gathering: Inquire here Want help figuring out your own life story: Contact Jen here

In our longest episode to date we talk to James Jean about assimilation, the paintings nobody buys, how Zak and James both painted Sasha Grey, death awareness, social media, legitimacy and competitiveness, illustration vs fine art and the crossover of the two, illustrating nothing, NGOs hiring you to make sex rabbits, comics, vintage illustrators, Kuniyoshi, and never doing the decisive moment, plus we ask James which of his art friends is crazier: Takashi Murakami or David Choe?

In this episode we talk to Yasuo Kuniyoshi about embodied cognition. By confronting his human size humanoids to their environment he proves that lifting heavy objects or performing some acrobatic moves become a piece of cake. When augmented with a pinch of chaos theory and a baby size humanoid, Yasou Kuniyoshi attempts to show us that embodied cognition might explain a lot about the way babies move and develop.
