Yumeji Takehisa 1884-1934 - Collection of Cats - Neko Zukushi - Ca.1932-33

"Neko Zukushi" (Collection of Cats). The very rare uncut collection of cat prints in one sheet. Yumeji Takehisa has been considered as the main figure who propelled “Taisho romanticism”. The dreamy, fragile looking girls Yumeji invented in his works were so popular during 1900 - 1930s that they became the cultural icon of the Taisho - early Showa era. Many artists imitated this “Yumeji Look” in order to jump on the band wagon of Yumeji’s popularity. Even today, he has been one of the most beloved artists in Japan.

Yumeji Takehisa is very famous and popular in Japan as painter, illustrator and printmaker of the Taisho period (1912-1926). Tokyo dedicated a museum exclusively to his paintings, watercolors and prints. The artist was active in the hanga movement and a close friend of Koshiro Onchi. His style is characterized as Western romanticism in a positive meaning. The preferred subjects of the artist were beautiful women (bijin-ga).
