Note that there may be some inaccuracies: Kawase HASUI (1883-1957) "NIGHT RAIN AT KAWARAKO, IBARAKI", -1947 Later edition ORIGINAL Image size 14" x 10" Condition "Pristine"-never laid down-full margins-no tears, no folds, no creases, no foxing, no stains-PERFECT! Good bleedthrough on verso (see scan). Complete with HASUI signature and Sui (see scan) and authenticated by Watanabe cartouche ad seal. Another one of Master HASUI's famous rain scenes. The rich, darkly elegant grays and blacks of the night, accented by the warm inviting glow from within the buildings is quite lovely. This print is very elegant! Scan shows slight discoloration on margins..this DOES NOT appear on the actual print!
