Offered is a Japanese woodblock print by Kawase Hasui. Size is 10 1/2" by 15 1/2" on thick washi. Condition is excellent, very minor thinning on reverse corners from tape removal. The print has no seals. It is similar to a print published by Doi Eiichi in 1938 titled "Ancient Cedar Tree"(see archived auctions on artelino.com), but lacks the clouds in the sky of the original Doi print. It could be a variation or possibly done by an employee of Doi for personal use. |
