Condition Report

Extremely rare caricature, depicting a suffering man with a gaping eye and an open mouth. Print very similar to the compilation of humorous gestures and faces created by Kobayashi Kiyochika, twenty-five prints each showing four faces in caricature. . The first eight prints were issued in 1882 and published by Hara Taneaki under the series title Thirty-Two Faces, New Edition. The series was so popular that it led to a second series in early 1883 titled One Hundred Faces: Supplement to Thirty-Two Faces (Sanjuni so tsuika hyakumenso), some of which were published by Hara, the remainder by Morimoto Junzaburo.
Kiyochika ?? (1847-1912); family name: Kobayashi ??. Representative painter of nishiki-e caricatures of the Meiji-period. In self-study he became a landscapist during the first period of his career. After he started to work at the newspaper Marumaru Chinbun he began to draw the caricature series Kiyochika ponchi. About the Sino-Japanese (1894/95) and the Russo-Japanese War (1904/05) he created the nationalistic-satirical series Hyaku sen hyaku sho.
