View of Ipswich, or A Bend in the River. Artist: Arthur Wesley Dow (American, Ipswich, Massachusetts 1857-1922 New York State). Dimensions: image: 5 x 2 5/16 in. (12.7 x 5.9 cm). Date: ca. 1895.Part of a series titled "Along Ipswich River," this upright composition echoes Japanese pillar prints and reflects the artist's study of Hokusai and Hiroshige. Dow was one of the first Americans to master Japanese woodblock printing techniques, wedding an admiration for Oriental aesthetics with an English Arts and Crafts sensibility. He called his woodcuts "color themes," and they demonstrate his devotion to Eastern concepts of line, color, and notan-the balance of light and dark. He executed the entire printmaking process by hand, carving and inking the blocks and then printing them sequentially on damp mulberry paper. In this case he did not use a linear key block to pull elements together but evokes landscape forms by juxtaposing color shapes. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, US

Plum Garden, Kamata (Kamata no Umezono), No. 27 from One Hundred Famous Views of Edo Utagawa Hiroshige (Ando) (Japanese, 1797-1858). Plum Garden, Kamata (Kamata no Umezono), No. 27 from One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, 2nd month of1857. Woodblock print, Image: 13 3/8 x 9 in. (34 x 22.9 cm). The entire Kamata area south of Ōmori was known for the cultivation of plum trees and was celebrated more for its early summertime fruits than its springtime blossoms. The gentle beauty of this print tends to distract the viewer from the structure intruding from the right. It is a cushioned palanquin known as a yamakago ("mountain palanquin"), once widely used for travel in Japan. The overgarment left casually on top suggests that a traveler has recently stopped off for a brief rest from the nearby Tokaido highway that linked Edo to Kyoto. Asian Art 2nd month of1857
