Description : Title Famous Places of Tokyo - Tameik Artist Kiyochika Kobayashi 1847-1915 Signature "Kobayashi Kiyochika" on the bottom left. Dated 1881. Publisher Fukuda Kumajiro. Medium/Technique Woodblock print. Description From the series, "Tokyo Meisho-zu" (Pictures of the Famous Places in Tokyo). "Tameike". The series was made during 1876 - 1881 using "kosen-e" style, which Kiyochika had been famous for. He used the traditional ukiyoe style emphasizing asymmetrical composition and simplified forms. In the same works he used also Western perspective, cast shadows and often shading for modelling. His prints were based on watercolour sketches. He imitated thin, overlapping washes or sometimes the hatchings and scribblings of a pencil. These style clearly owed much to Western-style painting and photography.
