Japanese Scenes on "Tanzaku" by Shoda Koho and Yoshimoto Gesso
Pillar prints, or ko-tanzaku, are a format that creates beautiful challenges for the artist and their compositions.
Vertical, narrow prints are a by-product of traditional Japanese architecture, which offered very few solid wall surfaces. Many times, the only solid surface available for the hanging of pictures, were the structural posts which held up the roof. “Pillar prints” became a genre unto themselves and were referred to in Japanese as hashira-e or tanzaku.
Shoda Koho, "A Woman Taking a Walk on the Riverside During the Rain" circa 1930's
Yoshimoto Gesso, "Pilgrims on Horseback", circa 1920's
