This lot is a Kawase Hasui Japanese Woodblock Print. It is of Water and Houses with moon in the background. It is about 15 1/2" by 10 1/4". Bottom edge has minor damage - couple small tears - one goes into the print about 1/8" - and bends. There is a spot in the sky near mood - looks like something in the papers turned dark - shows front and back. Also something on edges of back - see photo. This one also has 10 cents in pencil - did not photograph it - and an old tag from Watanbe, Toyko. One of three I am listing along with an unknown woodblock print. |
