JAPANESE WOODBLOCK HASUI 6MM LIFE TIME 02
This is a wonderful and quite rare, early, Japanese woodcut by HASUI Kawase of Japan. It is a full sheet and was printed during the lifetime of Hasui. I guarantee that it is not a later, or posthumous, edition. The print is in very good condition, with good color and good bleed through. Hasui prints have been fetching very high prices at auction recently, and I am, pleased to be able to offer this rare edition.
Title: Unknown (Storm on Lake)
Size: Approximately 10 ½” x 15 ½”
