This lot is a Kawase Hasui Japanese Woodblock Print. It is of trees with a building . Great Blues and Pinks. I could not find this one on Google. It is about 15 1/2" by 10 1/4". There is a small tear in bottom left about 1 1/2" from corner - goe to black line around print. I believe it is an original print. Appears to be Mulberry paper and ink is showing thru back. Had to show this - it has 10 cents in pencil on the back. |
