Large, Original Japanese Woodblock Print by Torii Kiyotada
This is an original, c.1954 Japanese woodblock print by Torii Kiyotada (1900 – 1976). The print has great color and is well printed with the extensive use of gauffrarge in the margins of the print and in the woman’s hat. The print measures approximately 17 ½ x 11 ¼. There print has pin holes in the corners (four in the top right), a curved crease in the center of the print (running across the woman’s face, see third image below), a one inch (unidentified) stain, in the area of the pink cartouche, a crease to the top right corner, and the paper has a slight role at the top and bottom edge of the print. Nonetheless, this is a fantastic print with appealing colors, and skillful printing.

| Series Information: |
| It is difficult to determine if this series is by Torii Kotondo (the 5th Kiyotada) or his father Torii Kiyotada (4th). Both used the pseudonym "Kiyotada". Gekigado was Kotondo's father, but he died in August 1941 and this series dates to 1942. It is possible the series was published after Kiyotada 4th's death, but it is also possible that Kotondo published this series in honour of his father. |
