Kyosui Kawanabe (1868-1935) was an ukiyo-e master, as well as the daughter and apprentice of another prominent artist, Kyosai Kawanabe (1831-1889). She entered the painter s guild at a young age and specialized in bijin-ga and noh-scenes. British architect Josiah Condor was a frequent guest and student at the Kawanabe house. He may have been the one who brought this commission to the daughter of his sensei. The Lever brothers started their business in 1885 (it has been known as Unilever from 1925). The name Lever originates from the family name Leverhulme, who belonged to the British aristocracy. Since one of the brothers, Sir William Hesketh Lever, 1st Viscount Leverhulme, was a Freemason, the brand design bears the symbol of Magen David. For this poster Kyosui Kawanabe created an unusual composition of the Seven Gods of Luck visiting Japanese Mixed Bath , using Lever products for bathing. The Gods of Luck are traditional symbols of New Year's celebrations in Japan. Poster. 92x62,5 cm. Offset colour printing. Few cracks on the edges. Metal frames. Near fine condition. Extra shipping charges may be applied due to size of the item. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 1383
