Onchi K?shir? ????? — Drawing - Gekkan Ky?to Mag ????

1951. Onchi K?shir? ?????. Drawing - Gekkan Ky?to Mag ????. An original drawing and magazine printer's proof page, tipped onto a single sheet, 27.4 x 19.2 cm. along with a xerox of the illustration and article as printed in the magazine in 1951. The article was entitled "HAHA NO TERYÔRI" ["MOM'S HOME COOKING"] and the illustration is of a homely meal of tôfu, herbs and a chawanmushi, with Onchi's calligraphed caption. As is evident from the proof and the printed article, it was all quite faithfully reproduced. Charming and effecting evocation of a warmly remembered distant past, long before the war and the privations all around. A very nice and contextualized presentation. .
