| Notes (this edition)?: |
| The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies:
This is a beautiful original woodblock print by shin hanga master Kawase Hasui. It is entitled "Onuma Park, Hokkaido" and it dates from 1934. It is a very rare print published by Bijutsusha rather than the usual publisher, Watanabe. It bears the rectangular cartouche of the publisher Watanabe in the righthand margin, indicating that it is a true prewar edition. Condition is good; there is a mat discoloration, which shows up more in the scan than in person; otherwise, the print is in good condition. Tape remnants verso. It measures about 14 1/2 x 9 1/2 plus margins. Signed in the image lower left. |
