Japanese Woodblock Print by Kawase Hasui
Chusonji Temple
Artist: Kawase Hasui
Date:1953 , Published by Watanabe Shozaburo
Image Size: Oban, about 10" x 15"
Condition: Fine color and bleed through, very good condition, some slight waves. Absolutely no water damage to these prints. I took these pictures outside and most of them show shadows, but there are not shadows or problems with the prints unless noted. May be a calendar print commissioned by Pacific Transport lines (edition of 500 copies), never been framed
This woodblock print is part of a hanging calendar / portfolio and each print is attached just at the top. The other paper shows yellowing around the edges but the print itself is in great condition. There are eleven other prints from this portfolio that I am listing individually. I couldn't find this print in the online galleries when I did research. |
