北野恒富 Kitano Tsunetomi (1880〜1947)

Painter and print artist. Tsunetomi ended his life well known as a painter in the 'Nihonga' style, but his original training was in the business of woodblock printing. Born in Kanazawa, he went to Osaka in 1892 and was apprenticed to Nishida Suketaro, who was a preparer of 'hanshita-e', the final drawings used when cutting the blocks for woodblock prints. He also studied 'Nanga'-style painting, sculpture and woodblock carving under various teachers before joining the carving section of the 'Hokkoku shinpo' newspaper in 1897, where he was able to study newspaper illustrations; but he soon returned to Osaka to study painting under Inano Toshitsune, a minor artist who was in a line from the 'Ukiyo-e' school. From him he adopted the 'Tsune' element in his art name, and absorbed a style of painting beautiful women which was a transition between 'Ukiyo-e' and 'Nihonga'. Inano made him work as a woodblock cutter. He published the first of his illustrations for serialised novels in an Osaka journal. While earning his living in this way, he continued to paint and first exhibited in the government-sponsored Bunten show in 1910. In 1912 he helped set up the Taisho Art Society devoted to the encouragement of child artists and in 1915 the Osaka Art Society, at which he became a regular exhibitor. In 1917 he was elected to the Japan Art Institute, and thereafter remained a regular exhibitor at official exhibitions. In 1934 he was invited to contribute wall-paintings to the Shotoku Memorial Painting Hall in the Meiji Shrine, Tokyo.

Tsunetomi's subject-matter was usually beautiful women from the world of entertainment and fashion in the Osaka area, and his work is important as a record of that way of life. Many of his paintings are rescued from the common sentimentality of the period by a gritty edginess which is not unlike the early prints of Ito Shinsui (q.v.). He designed few sheet-prints, and all of them seem to have been adapted from earlier paintings. His best-known print is 'Sagimusume' (Heron Maiden), published in 1925. Tsunetomi was an important figure in Osaka art circles, teaching many pupils, including the painter and print designer Shima Seien (1892-1970).

Best Section Books out there!
Format: Paperback
I plan to section hike the PCT in mostly small sections. Previous section books I'd found were called "PCT Section Hiking" but really were if you just wanted to get your feet on the PCT. THIS series of books is more than I could have hoped for and makes it so easy! I had previously spent hours and hours planning small sections, researching where to leave my car, which wilderness, what permits were needed, and on and on. This series (all different authors, but organized the same way, wonderful!) provides all the need to know info, plus very detailed commentary on each segment/leg. So grateful! So good!

Excellent resource for anyone hiking the PCT
Format: Paperback
I bought this for my brother who will be hiking the PCT for a second time this summer. He has read many books on the PCT and he said this book is an excellent resource for anyone thinking about or hiking, planning to return to, the PCT. Very easy to follow and everything you need to know as you plan your hike.

Has me feeling prepared
Format: Paperback
Gearing up to hike the first section of the PCT. I got this book, my hiking buddy got a different book that covers the entire trail. While talking about our hiking plans he often says “my book didn’t mention that.” It’s clear this book is more detailed and up to date. I’m feeling very prepared and in the know about what to expect on the PCT.

The Best of the Modern Guides to the PCT.
Format: Paperback
This book is not an update of the Wilderness Press classics on which the trail was discovered and hiked by a couple generations from the 1970s to around 2010. It does however owe those books a heavy and unacknowledged debt. This is most notable in lettering sections which the author of this guide, Shawnte Salabert, attributes to the PCTA but in fact come from scarified, Schaffer, et all who wrote the original guides to California, Oregon, and Washington. Even the definition of sweat constitutes the Southern California trail, comes from those guides. (It starts at the Mexican Border near Campo California and ends in Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite.). But alas, those books are long out of print, in part because today’s hikers prefer light weight apps with minimal trail information as opposed to detailed descriptions of the physical geography and varied ecosystems of the trail. I’m not sure the lost knowledge has equaled the reduced weight but I’m a bit old school. And this book is as much a throwback to that kind of writing as it is a nod to recent demands of the hiking community. It does cover every mile of the route, suggest campsites along the way, and as much as possible provide an option for day and section hikes along the trail for just about anyone. The author provides good car descriptions to major trailheads for each section hike he recommends as well as available entry and exit options along the way. The writing is entertaining and the author has his own sense of humor that will become readily apparent as you read the text. Based on my experiences (and I’ve hiked 95% of the trail he describes at least once; sometimes multiple times) his mileage descriptions are accurate and you will easily be able to recognize the places he describes along the way. The book also features nice color photos and it’s availability in digital form will certainly please the gram counting hiker set. On the other hand, I miss seeing elevations along with miles at each major trail intersection, pass etc. Salabert does give total elevation gain and loss for each section of trail he describes but sometimes it’s nice to know just how much of a climb to expect. Ultimately, this book fulfills it’s purpose. You should want to hike the PCT after reading a few pages if you hadn’t already when you purchased the book. And if you are like many people with only a weekend or a few days to spare hiking the trail, this book will make planning short sections easier. It offers a lot. But it reminds me of an era when guidebooks offered even more.

Superb Guide in All Respects
Format: Paperback
An invaluable reference for anybody interested in section hiking the trail. I especially appreciate the coverage of water and campsites. It’s also a fun and beautiful read for any armchair adventurer. Salabert did an amazing job bringing together well-written text, data, maps, and beautiful photos to create a comprehensive guidebook. Deserves to do very well.
