Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦"Famous Heroes of the Kabuki Stage Played by Frogs," Utagawa Kuniyoshi, c. 1875.Utagawa was sometimes dissatisfied and disaffected with the shogunate in Japan, which led him to create some stunning works of caricature, which can be seen here. Here we have an assortment of scenes from various kabuki plays, all apparently dealing with dramatic deeds by samurai...only with frogs.These were the days of the Tenpō Reforms, which cracked down on entertainment and banned luxury goods. Kabuki actors were required to wear hats outside lest they be too conspicuous, and the content of ukiyo-e art and popular literature was regulated.The censorship had the unintended consequence of forcing Utagawa to be very creative and sneaky with his material. Caricature such as this was a veiled criticism of the shogunate, and while it technically evaded the censors, the public ate it up, along with other caricatures he did.So we can add Utagawa to the Caricature Hall of Fame, with Goya and Daumier!Interestingly, this print is commonly dated to c. 1875, but Utagawa died in 1861, so I assume this was a design he put together that was printed posthumously.

Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦"Horikiri Iris Garden," Hiroshige, 1856.The Japanese village of Horikiri was famous for its flowers, many of which were sold in Edo (modern-day Tokyo). The gardens there were also a favorite destination for day trips from the city.We don't see the actual village here, but we do get some prized irises that grew well in the marshy terrain around Horikiri. This was part of a series of 119 prints Hiroshige made of everyday scenes in Edo and the surrounding area.From the Brooklyn Museum.<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Art</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AsianArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AsianArt</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/JapaneseArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JapaneseArt</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ukiyo_e" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ukiyo_e</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Hiroshige" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hiroshige</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/FridayFlowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FridayFlowers</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Irises" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Irises</a>

Hotspur🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦"Feminine Wave," Katsushika Hokusai, 1845.OK, I don't know what's "feminine" about this, but this is a great dramatic work by that master of the Ukiyo-e style, Hokusai, who also gave us another famous wave, that one with Mt. Fuji in the background, that's reproduced everywhere.This is my way of saying to all my women/femme followers....don't forget, you still have power. You are still leaders. Don't let today derail you. Fight harder. Be that wave that pounds the rocks into sand. I will fight with you.From the Sumida Hokusai Museum, Tokyo.<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Art</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AsianArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AsianArt</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/JapaneseArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JapaneseArt</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Ukiyo_e" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ukiyo_e</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Hokusai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hokusai</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/BlueWave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlueWave</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WomensRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WomensRights</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ContinueTheFight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ContinueTheFight</a>
