日本三景の内 陸奥国松島「One of the Three Famous Views of Japan: Matsushima in Mutsu Province (Nihon sankei no - 芳幾小国政 Utagawa Kokunimasa - Japan - Meiji period (1868-1912)

https://ja.ukiyo-e.org/image/mfa/sc220666 This vibrant triptych woodblock print depicts Matsushima, celebrated as one of the Three Scenic Views of Japan (Nihon Sankei). The composition shows elegantly dressed women enjoying a pleasure boat ride across the calm waters at sunset, while a gentleman at the bow observes the landscape through a telescope. In the distance rise the iconic pine-covered islets, red bridges, rock arches, and sailing boats, beautifully capturing the distinct scenery of Matsushima Bay in Mutsu Province. Attributed to Yoshiiku and Kunitada, the print reflects the Meiji-era fascination with travel, modernization, and refined beauty. The rich colors, detailed kimono patterns, and expansive panoramic layout make this work an attractive and decorative example of late ukiyo-e triptych design. Utagawa Kokunimasa (1874–1944) was a prominent artist of the late ukiyo-e and early modern Japanese print era. A pupil and son of Utagawa Kunimasa IV, he was active from the Meiji to early Shōwa periods. Kokunimasa is best known for his dynamic sensō-e (war prints), depictions of the Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese Wars, as well as lively genre scenes, actors, and beauties. His bold compositions, strong colors, and dramatic storytelling reflect the transition from traditional ukiyo-e to modern mass-media illustration. Kokunimasa’s works offer valuable insight into Japan’s social and political climate at the turn of the 20th century. NOTICE
