Friday, 13 May 2011
Beautiful color with no evidence of fading, the image measures 14 ½” x 6 1/8”, as seen through the wood mat. A label on the back indicates “Mt. Fuji in Evening, Artist – Chowka” and it retains the original art shop paper label. In the original frame that measures 20 7/8” x 12 3/8”, and matted (with a wood mat) under glass. The total weight is 2 ½ lbs. A clean image with marks along the upper right and also an orange chop marks in the bottom right corner. Probably circa the 1930s. |

| Artist Bio: |
Published via Takemura Hideo in the 1930s. We originally read the signature scrawl as 彰世 (Akiyo) but a recently discovered print has an artist seal that clearly reads 朝花 (Choka) - see item 47147 in the database.
