"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.

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

(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."
