PROVENANCE

fun fact:


digital description:


wall description:
Although mezzotint is primarily a European technique,  Hamanishi’s work is traditionally Japanese in many respects.  The use of gold, which emphasizes the flatness of the scene  and adds a wonderful decorative element, began in Japanese  printmaking in the late 17th century. One hundred years  earlier, gold paper served as a background for folding screens  (see examples in gallery 121), also referenced in the tripartite  arrangement of Division-Work No. 100.
