This block print was found in an original envelope from publisher S. Watanabe, Ginza, Tokyo.
The envelope was safely stored flat in a portfolio and I will be auctioning the Watanabe envelopes too.
Circa 1920's or 30's or earlier? And in Near mint condition.
Hopefully a close-up of the artists signature will help you identify him.
This wood block print measures 5" x 7 7/16" and total size including paper it's glued on is 6 13/16" x 9 1/4".
This print is glued to under sheet along top. |
