Toyohara Chikanobu

Chikanobu signed his artwork {{nihongo|"Yōshū Chikanobu"|楊洲周延}}. This was his {{nihongo|"art name"|作品名|sakuhinmei}}. The artist's {{nihongo|"real name"|本名|honmyō}} was {{nihongo|Hashimoto Naoyoshi|橋本直義}}; and it was published in his obituary.See "Yōshū Chikanobu [obituary]," Miyako Shimbun, No. 8847 (October 2, 1912). p. 195:

"Yōshū Chikanobu, who represented in nishiki-e the Great Interior of the Chiyoda Castle and was famous as a master of bijin-ga, had retired to Shimo-Ōsaki at the foot of Goten-yama five years ago and led an elegant life away from the world, but suffered from stomach cancer starting this past June, and finally died on the night of September 28th at the age of seventy-five.

His real name being Hashimoto Naoyoshi, he was a retainer of the Sakakibara clan of Takada domain in Echigo province. After the collapse of the Tokugawa Shogunate, he joined the Shōgitai and fought in the Battle of Ueno. After the defeat at Ueno, he fled to Hakodate, Hokkaidō, fought in the Battle of Hakodate at the Goryōkaku star fort under the leadership of Enomoto Takeaki and Ōtori Keisuke achieving fame for his bravery. But following the Shōgitai's surrender, he was handed over to the authorities in the Takada domain. In the eighth year of Meiji, with the intention of making a living in the way that he was fond of, went to the capital and lived in Yushima-Tenjin town. He became an artist for the Kaishin Shimbun, and on the side, produced many nishiki-e pieces. Regarding his artistic background: when he was younger he studied the Kanō school of painting, but later switched to ukiyo-e and studied with a disciple of Keisai Eisen; and next joining the school of Utagawa Kuniyoshi , called himself Yoshitsuru. After Kuniyoshi's death, he studied with Kunisada. Later he studied nigao-e with Toyohara Kunichika, and called himself Isshunsai Chikanobu. He also referred to himself as Yōshū.

Among his disciples were {{nihongo|Nobukazu|楊斎延一|Yōsai Nobukazu}} and {{nihongo|Gyokuei|楊堂玉英|Yōdō Gyokuei}} as a painter of images on fans (uchiwa-e), and several others. Gyokuei produced Kajita Hanko. Since only Nobukazu now is in good health, there is no one to succeed to Chikanobu's bijin-ga, and thus Edo-e, after the death of Kunichika, has perished with Chikanobu. It is most regrettable." — trans. by Kyoko Iriye Selden (October 2, 1936, Tokyo-January 20, 2013, Ithaca), Senior Lecturer, Department of Asian Studies, Cornell University, ret'd.

Many of his earliest works were signed {{nihongo|"studio of Yōshū Chikanobu"|楊洲齋周延|Yōshū-sai Chikanobu}}; a small number of his early creations were simply signed {{nihongo|"Yōshū"|楊洲}}. At least one triptych from 12 Meiji (1879) exists signed {{nihongo|"Yōshū Naoyoshi"|楊洲直義}}.

The portrait of the Emperor Meiji held by the British Museum is inscribed {{nihongo|"drawn by Yōshū Chikanobu by special request"|應需楊洲周延筆|motome ni ōjite Yōshū Chikanobu hitsu}}.British Museum, [https://www.britishmuseum.org/research/search_the_collection_database/search_object_details.aspx?objectid=3065691&partid=1&searchText=japan+chikanobu+print&fromDate=1865&fromADBC=ad&toDate=1870&toADBC=ad&numpages=10&images=on&orig=%2fresearch%2fsearch_the_collection_database.aspx¤tPage=3] woodblock print.

No works have surfaced that are signed either "Toyohara Chikanobu" or "Hashimoto Chikanobu".[https://www.loc.gov/pictures/related/?fi=name&q=Hashimoto%2C%20Chikanobu%2C%201838-1912 Library of Congress]

Chikanobu was a retainer of the Sakakibara clan of Takada Domain in Echigo Province. After the collapse of the Tokugawa Shogunate, he joined the Shōgitai and fought in the Battle of Ueno.

He joined Tokugawa loyalists in Hakodate, Hokkaidō, where he fought in the Battle of Hakodate at the Goryōkaku star fort. He served under the leadership of Enomoto Takeaki and Ōtori Keisuke; and he achieved fame for his bravery.

Following the Shōgitai's surrender, he was remanded along with others to the authorities in the Takada domain.

In 1875 (Meiji 8), he decided to try to make a living as an artist. He travelled to Tokyo. He found work as an artist for the Kaishin Shimbun.改進新聞 (かいしんしんぶん) In addition, he produced nishiki-e artworks. In his younger days, he had studied the Kanō school of painting; but his interest was drawn to ukiyo-e. He studied with a disciple of Keisai Eisen and then he joined the school of Ichiyūsai Kuniyoshi; during this period, he called himself Yoshitsuru. After Kuniyoshi's death, he studied with Kunisada. He also referred to himself as Yōshū.

Like many ukiyo-e artists, Chikanobu turned his attention towards a great variety of subjects. His work ranged from Japanese mythology to depictions of the battlefields of his lifetime to women's fashions. As well as a number of the other artists of this period, he too portrayed kabuki actors in character, and is well known for his impressions of the mie (mise en scène) of kabuki productions. Chikanobu was known as a master of bijinga (images of beautiful women), and for illustrating changes in women's fashion, including both traditional and Western clothing. His work illustrated the changes in coiffures and make-up across time. For example, in Chikanobu's images in Mirror of Ages (1897), the hair styles of the Tenmei era, 1781-1789{{cite web|url=http://ccdl.libraries.claremont.edu/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/cyw&CISOPTR=7&CISOBOX=1&REC=1 |title=Tenmei, 1781-1789 :: Chikanobu and Yoshitoshi Woodblock Prints |publisher=Ccdl.libraries.claremont.edu |date= |accessdate=2012-10-08}} are distinguished from those of the Keiō era, 1865-1867.{{cite web|url=http://ccdl.libraries.claremont.edu/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/cyw&CISOPTR=45 |title=Keio, 1865-1867 :: Chikanobu and Yoshitoshi Woodblock Prints |publisher=Ccdl.libraries.claremont.edu |date= |accessdate=2012-10-08}} His works capture the transition from the age of the samurai to Meiji modernity, the artistic chaos of the Meiji period exemplifying the concept of "furumekashii/imamekashii".Miner, Odagiri and Morrell in the Princeton Companion to Classical Japanese Literature, pp. 9, 27.

Chikanobu is a recognizable Meiji period artist,Gobrich, Marius. [http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fa20090306a1.html "Edo to Meiji: Ukiyo-e artist Yoshu Chikanobu tracked the transformation of Japanese culture,"] Japan Times. March 6, 2009; excerpt, "We think the characteristics of the artist start to show around the late 1880s.... Before this, in his early works, he tends to imitate his teacher, Toyohara Kunichika." but his subjects were sometimes drawn from earlier historical eras. For example, one print illustrates an incident during the 1855 Ansei Edo earthquake.Gobrich, [http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fa20090306a1.html "Edo to Meiji,"] Japan Times. March 6, 2009; excerpt, " One picture shows people escaping from a collapsing house during the Ansei Edo earthquake of 1855, which reportedly killed over 6,000 people and destroyed much of the city. What gives this image a particularly timeless feel is the fact that the noble lady of the house — in accordance with the rules of etiquette and social decorum — has taken the trouble to get into her palanquin first before being carried out of the collapsing house.." The early Meiji period was marked by clashes between disputing samurai forces with differing views about ending Japan's self-imposed isolation and about the changing relationship between the Imperial court and the Tokugawa shogunate."Yōshū Chikanobu [obituary]," Miyako Shimbun, No. 8847 (October 2, 1912). p. 195; Gobrich, [http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fa20090306a1.html "Edo to Meiji,"] Japan Times.

The greatest number of Chikanobu's {{Nihongo|war prints|戦争絵|sensō-e}} appeared in triptych format. These works documented the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895.
