You are bidding on an original Japanese woodblock print?? “Bijin” signed by the Taisho/Showa famous woodblock artist Otake Goyo. Otake Goyo is one of Ito Shinsui' students. He is specialized in Bijin. His woork is highyly searched by woodblock collectors in Europe and Japan. This woodblock print is a part of a large number of gorgeous, different-styled Japanese woodblock print collections in my family, which we are gradually selling. The size of the woodblock print is 22 x 17inches, and with the mat its size is 28 x 23 ½ inches. The artist’s pencil signature and chop stamp are at the right side of the lower edge, and 65/150 written by pencil, which means the 65th print out of 150 prints, is at the left side. At the lower left corner of the print, there is an embossed word “KOKEN”, which I guess is the publisher’s seal. The colors, which are vivid and vibrant, are clearly in layers. All four borders are intact. I cannot find any stains, foxing or defect, this woodblock print is in excellent condition.
