"Visions of Japan: Prints and Paintings from Cleveland Collections". --- PROVENANCE --- fun fact: digital description: wall description: This rare, hand-colored print incorporates a technique called urushi-e, literally "lacquer picture," in which the artist paints deer glue over areas of black pigment, producing a lustrous effect reminiscent of lacquer. Metal filings were sometimes sprinkled onto the pigment for decorative effect. Kiyonobu’s prints are characteristically hand-colored and outlined in black. Inspired by a family tradition of painters of Kabuki posters, Kiyonobu created prints mainly of actors and scenes from plays. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1916.1128/1916.1128_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1916.1128/1916.1128_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1916.1128/1916.1128_full.tif
