Notes (1st edition)?: | We suspect that this scene is one of several large-oban format Koitsu works that were published as post-war first editions by Doi Eiichi in the early 1950s. No pre-war Doi Sadaichi strike has ever been observed, and we have confirmed that carver Harada did not work for Doi pre-war. | |
Notes (this edition)?: | The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Often written by non-experts, there may be inaccuracies: Japanese woodblock print by Koitsu Tsuchiya (1870-1949) entitled “Miyajima in Rain.” Originally published in 1941; margin is dated “Showa 16.” Later Hama impression posthumously printed from Koitsu’s original blocks. These later editions are identical to the earlier editions except for the publisher’s seal. With their intense realism, Koitsu’s woodblock prints have immortalized his country’s scenic beauty. Subtle effects of light and shadow endow his scenic renderings with an aura of captivating beauty, making his prints highly prized among collectors. The workmanship in both carving and printing is very good. Skillfully executed changes of color shading ("bokashi") are seen throughout the print. Pristine condition, with excellent color and registration, and strong ink bleed through. Oban size image measures 15 ¼” x 10 1/8”, plus full margins. | |
