Original Japanese woodblock titled "Summer in Itako" by Kawase Hasui
This woodblock print depicts a Japanese farmhouse in the village of Itako with a rainbow overhead. It is an undated and rare Hasui design, known to have been printed between 1945 and 1946. It was published by Watanabe Shozaburo. The margins were small on this design, and this print has not been trimmed. This print has been professionally restored to remove minor water-staining in the bottom part of the image. It is still a charming design in very good condition with strong colors.
The size of this print is tanzaku, approximately 6.5 x 14.5 inches plus full margins. It will be shipped flat by certified Priority Mail, packed in thick cardboard & foamcore sheets to prevent bending. Please email me with any questions. Thanks for looking and please visit hanga.com for other 20th century Japanese woodblock prints!
