"Tsujiokaya Bunsuke published
actor prints by Toyokuni beginning around 1814. His output decreased
significantly during the late 1820s and early 1830s. In the late 1830s and
early 1840s, he picked up again and became more active by issuing some minor
series of Kuniyoshi and Kunisada respectively. But it was not until the late
1840s when Tsujiokaya's business finally boomed through issuing Kunisada's
actor prints." In the fourth month of 1852 he took over the publishing firm
of Tsuru-ya Kiemon. (See that listing below.) In the mid-1850s Tsujioka
started publishing illustrated books and in time this became a more
important factor than the production of prints. Source and quotes from Japanese Woodblock Prints: Artists, Publishers and Masterworks 1680-1900

As early as the 1620s or

Again in ca. 1870 to 1898. |
Andreas Marks in his
Japanese Woodblock
Prints: Artists, Publishers and Masterworks 1680-1900
(p. 190) tells us that this firm was one of the longeset lasting. They
started out printing books. "In the 1670s, he published the first picture
albums by Moronobu." In 1807 Tsuruya published the first prints by Kunisada.
That was the same year the firm was part of the Picture Book and Print
Publishers Guild and the Book Publishers Guild. "In 1811 and 1813, Tsuruya
functioned as gyōji (censor) for the guild, following regulations by
the government that attempted to control the market better." The most
successful book they ever printed was the so-called 'Country Genji' authored
by Ryūtei Tanehiko and illustrated by Kunisada. However, its success also
got them into trouble with the authorities. Tsuruya "...was not able to
recover from the complications with the 'Country Genji' and his business was
taken over by fellow publisher Tsujiokaya Bunsuke in the fourth month of
1852. From this point on there are no more prints by Tsuruya, but books
appear again starting around 1870 by Tsuruya Kiemon. In which way this
Tsuruya is related to the previous is unclear."
In the 1830s Tsutaya Kichizō co-published a series of Kuniyoshi landscape
prints with Tsuruya Kiemon. Both of their seals appear on each of these
prints.
Nishimuraya Yohachi collaborated with Tsuruya Kiemon and Jōshuya Jūzō on a
Hokusai suguroku print in the 1820s.

Started publishing in 1774
and continued to as late as
1847-52 or later
(This last date is from a
seal
found on a Toyokuni III
triptych in the Boston MFA.)
There is a Kunisada triptych in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston that shows
the publisher seals of both this house and that of Enomotoya Kichibei. One
additional complicating factor is that both Tsutaya Jūzaburō and Tsutaya
Kichizō used almost the same seal. These are not easily distinguishable. |
"Tsuta-ya Jūzaburō is notable for having established a commanding
and innovative presence in the Edo publishing world. He... is credited with
'the gift of discovering genius', particularly that of Utamaro. At various
times he offered lodgings to Kyokutei Bakin, Santō Kyōden and Utamaro....
Tsuta-ya Jūzaburō...
was born in the Yoshiwara pleasure quarter in 1750. [He died in 1797.] In
1773 opened a bookshop at the entrance to the quarter selling the
guidebooks, or Yoshiwara saiken, published by the firm of Urokogataya
Magobee, which had been in business since 1660. The following year he
launched his career as a publisher with a courtesan critique, and in 1775 he
produced his own guide to the Yoshiwara. In doing so he was probably taking
advantage of the fact that Urokogataya Magobee was at the time beset by
problems connected with a copyright infringement case..." For years Tsutajū
competed head to head with Urokogataya for the Yoshiwara saiken
market. Urokogataya lingered on until 1803 when they ceased publishing.
"Well before this, however, he had begun to branch out, employing artists
such as Katsukawa Shunshō to illustrate his guidebooks, and from 1776,
publishing illustrated books on haikai poetry, ehon and
sharebon." In 1783 he moved away from the Yoshiwara to a larger and
permanent home.
In the 1780s he published
poetry and light fiction, but in 1791 the new conservative government came
down hard on him. "In that year, he published three of Santō Kyōden's
sharebon. These were subsequently made an example of by the new régime
in power... with the result that not only was Kyōden punished but also
Tsutajū, who had gone through the correct procedures to gain permission to
publish, had half his wealth confiscated, and the gyōji, or guild
officials, were banished from Edo." After this Tsutajū left the
guild he was working with and "...joined the guild of 'serious books'."
Supposedly he did this more for financial reasons - he could now raise new
capital to replace some of what he had been fined - than to clean up his
act. "...the main focus of his activity in the early 1790s was actually not
'serious' publishing, but single sheet ukiyoe prints of beauties and actors
by Utamaro, Sharaku and others." In 1794 he bought up the blocks for some
illustrated books published by others, moved their seals and put his own on
them. In 1796 he came out with his own new original publication in this
field. "Although the firm survived for some years under the chief clerk, it
lacked the entrepreneurial energy that had propelled it from obscurity..."
Source and quotes from: The Book in Japan: A Cultural History from the Beginnings to the
Nineteenth Century by Peter Kornicki.
Andreas Marks in his
Japanese Woodblock
Prints: Artists, Publishers and Masterworks 1680-1900
(p. 204) says: Tsutaya Jūzaburō is probably the best known
publisher today, mainly because of his forerunner position and connection to
Utamaro and Sharaku." The first artist he published was Shigemasa in 1774.
"In 1775, or perhaps already in 1774, Tsutaya joined the publisher
Urokogataya in regularly issuing the 'Guide to the Yoshiwara' (Yoshiwara
saiken). In fall of 1776, Tsutaya took over and continued these guides on a
regular basis until 1836." In 1783 he took over the business of Maru-ya
Kohei. This was also the first year he published works by Utamaro. After Jūzaburō
I died in 1797 his chief clerk Yūsuke took over and continued the business
operations the way they had been. He also adopted the name Jūzaburō
II. Marks adds that "After the 1810s, only a very few publications
appeared." In 1807 Tsutaya was listed as a member of the Picture Book and
Print Publishers Guild and the Book Publishers Guild. The head of the firm
acted as a print censor in 1811, 1812 and again in 1813. "In 1833 Jūzaburō
II passed away and shortly thereafter, in 1837, Jūzaburō III died.
The business was continued by Jūzaburō IV..." In 1852 it was taken
over by Yamada Shōjirō. [That firm is listed further down this page.]
Tsutaya Jūzaburō's seal is an
ivy leaf befow the three peaks of Mt. Fuji.
In
1834 Kyokutei Bakin wrote: "Tsutaya Jūzaburō was admired by many talented
persons, and his publications were appreciated by the Edoites. Business went
well and within 10 years, his publishing house became one of the outstanding
jihon don'ya. Many men were known to bankrupt themselves through
their decadent lifestyles in Yoshiwara and it was rare that someone from
Yoshiwara made a fortune." |
