Description: Shinshin Meika Kachō Sen 新進名家花鳥選 Vol.1 Maria Gabō マリア画房, publisher Kyoto N.D. [c.1935] [Flowers, botanical] Shinshin Meika Kachō Sen 新進名家花鳥選 is a 30.0 x 41.6 cm volume with 12 original color woodblock prints of flowers and birds. Maria Gabō マリア画房 was a very skillful woodblock printing house in the 1930s. Their aesthetic sense differs from others of the period; the palette is subtler, the printing more "boneless;" overall a more painterly effect is achieved in this group of prints by some of the most celebrated Kyoto artists of the day Maria Gabō has created 24.5 x 33.5cm size prints embellished with all the effects of a deluxe production, such as bokashi ぼかし (gradation), kasane insatsu 重ね印刷 (overprinting), and other techniques. The portfolio covers are worn, but the prints themselves are very good. Very unusual and stunning collection that is almost never found complete. .
