Japanese Woodblock Print Art Auction

Lodestar Auctions proudly presents an exceptional sale dedicated to the art and legacy of Japanese woodblock printing, spanning more than three centuries of cultural expression. This remarkable collection brings together ukiyo‑e masterpieces, Meiji‑era works, shin‑hanga gems, modern limited editions, and finely executed reproductions representing many of Japan’s most celebrated artists and schools.

The catalog features an impressive range of original 19th‑century prints by iconic masters including Utagawa Hiroshige, Utagawa Kunisada, Utagawa Kuniyoshi, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, Toyohara Chikanobu, Hasegawa Sadanobu I, Yoshiiku, and Eisen. These works capture the elegance of kabuki actors, the drama of historical tales, the beauty of courtesans, and the poetic landscapes that define the ukiyo‑e tradition. Several prints come from important series such as The Fifty‑Three Stations of the Tokaido, One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji, and Nogaku Zue, offering collectors rare opportunities to acquire historically significant compositions.

The auction also includes a distinguished selection of shin‑hanga and 20th‑century works, featuring artists such as Tokuriki Tomikichiro, Kawano Kaoru, Katsuyuki Nishijima, Naoko Matsubara, Mitsumasa Anno, Hatsuko Gima, Masaharu Enomoto, and Hideo Kawahara. These prints highlight the revival of traditional techniques blended with modern sensibilities—serene temples, seasonal landscapes, expressive portraiture, and nature studies rendered with exceptional craftsmanship.

Collectors of botanical and kacho‑ga subjects will appreciate pieces by Imao Keinen, Kono Bairei, Tsuchiya Rakuzan, Yoshimoto Gesso, and Nomura Bunkyo, showcasing delicate birds, flowers, and natural scenes in vibrant color and refined detail. Folklore, mythology, and festival themes appear throughout the catalog, including depictions of Urashima Taro, firefly hunting, Shichi‑Go‑San celebrations, and Noh drama, offering a rich cross‑section of Japanese cultural storytelling.

The sale further includes beautifully executed reproductions and study prints after masters such as Utamaro, Harunobu, Koryūsai, Kyosai, Shotei, and Hiroshige, ideal for collectors seeking classic imagery at accessible price points. Several framed works, triptychs, and limited editions add depth and variety to the offering.

With its extraordinary breadth—from Edo‑period originals to modern interpretations—this auction provides a rare opportunity for both seasoned collectors and new admirers of Japanese printmaking. Lodestar Auctions invites you to explore this diverse and carefully curated catalog and discover the artworks that resonate with your eye, your interests, and your appreciation for one of the world’s most enduring artistic traditions.
