Kawase HASUI - Japanese Woodblock Print
Twilight at Ushibori - published by Kawaguchi & Sakai, 1930
Original HASUI prints published by Kawaguchi & Sakai are as RARE as most of the pre-earthquake first editions. This is ONE of those prints. Twilight at Ushibori is an 'understated' masterpiece of design and printing. This print has STRONG COLOR and IMPRESSION, it is VERY FINE in condition. The 'keyblock' line is UNBROKEN and CRISP. Lower left on the verso is the script showing this print to be a proof. STRONG bleed through on the verso with the desired 'baren' marks present. Pictures shown are accurate for COLOR and CONDITION. The paper is heavy washi and dai-oban in size. The image size is : 10 5/8 x 15 inches or 27 x 38.1 cm with full margins as published. This print is listed by Narazaki as KS-11.
Note: This print has been PROFESSIONALLY cleaned and any toning removed by one of the leading Japanese woodblock print conservators who is located in the Netherlands.
