Primitive polychrome woodblock prints in *ukiyo-e ˘G. Appeared after *urushi-e ˝G and preceded *nishiki-e ŃG. At first only *beni g and green were used, but later a few colors like yellow, indigo, and brown were added. The technique of coloring the woodblock comes originally from the Chinese technique of woodblock printing, which originated in the Enkyou era (1744-48). Ishikawa Toyonobu ÎěLM (1711-85) and Torii Kiyomitsu š´ (1725-85) are among the main artists who created benizuri-e. The technique was called *beni-e gG at the time, but benizuri-e is currently used to distinguish the two similar techniques. The coloring of woodblocks was common from about the Kan'ei °i era (1624-44) in Japan, and was extensively employed in China at the time. In ukiyo-e prints, coloring was intruced between about the Houei ói and Shotoku łż eras (1704-15) and was used for illustration in the writings of haikai oć~ in the Kyouhou Ű era (1716-36), but these were trial efforts. Color became general for ukiyo-e woodblocks from about the Kanpou °Ű era (1741-44). Benizuri-e is particularly significant in the development of nishiki-e. This meant the addition of yellow and green to beni; then deeper colors like indigo *ai , and brown were added, creating complex works using five colors. In addition to the artists mentioned above, famous print makers who created benizuri-e include: Okumura Masanobu şM (1686-1764), Torii Kiyonobu š´M (1664-1729), Torii Kiyomasu š´{ (act. early 18c), Torii Kiyohiro š´L, Torii Kiyotsune š´o, Kitao Shigemasu köd (1739|1820), and Suzuki Harunobu éŘtM (1725-70). | ||||||
