You are bidding on a very beautiful and rare Japanese woodblock print signed by the famous Shin-Hanga artist Hasui Kawase (1883-1957). The artist’s signature and his chop mark are at the lower left corner of the print. There are chop marks in the lower right border, which says the title of this woodblock print. The size of this woodblock print is 15 1/4 x 10 1/2 inches. The colors, which are vivid and vibrant, are in layers. There is a minor horizontal crease at about 1/3 of the print from the top edge of the print, four minor vertical creases in the middle of this print, a couple very small tears at the left edge in the border, one wrinkle at the middle of the right border, and one wrinkle at the top right edge in the border, one small repair in the back of the print due to the print’s age. |
