Tsukiyo no Kawagishi (Moonlit Night at Kawagishi) by Kawase Hasui. Original woodblock print from the August Taisho 13 (1924) issue of Fujin Gurafu (Ladies Graphic) Magazine. Very good condition. Light diagonal crease in corner. Orange dye in moon has tarnished. Good ink bleedthrough on Japanese Washi. Very strong woodgrain in blue background. Print measures 3.8 x 7.9 inches. Nice print for the serious Hasui collector. |
