tanzakuban　短冊判

KEY WORD :　art history / paintings

Lit. poem-slip *tanzaku 短冊 format. A size of *ukiyo-e 浮世絵 print often used by Utagawa Hiroshige 歌川広重 (also known as Andou Hiroshige 安藤広重; 1797-1858) for his landscape or bird-and-flower prints. Four variations of tanzakuban exist. 1　Ootanzakuban 大短冊判. Also read daitanzakuban. A vertically cut 1/3 sheet of an *oobousho 大奉書 sheet, approximately 39 X 17.5 cm. When used for *surimono 摺物, it was called shikishiban jouge nimaitsugi 色紙判上下二枚継 (two, vertically joined *shikishiban 色紙判), because its size is the same as two sheets of the poem card format. When used (though very rarely) in *beni-e 紅絵 in 1750s, it was called oohosoban 大細判. 2　 Chuutanzakuban 中短冊判. A vertically cut quarter piece of oobousho paper, approximately 39 X 12 cm. 3　 Kotanzakuban 小短冊判. Also called hosotanzakuban 細短冊判. A vertically cut piece of 1/8 of an oobousho sheet, approximately 39 X 6 cm. 4　 Aitanzakuban 間短冊判. A vertically cut quarter piece of an *kobousho 小奉書 sheet, approximately 33 X 11.5 cm.
