| The following information was taken from the original web listing of this artwork. Note that there may be some inaccuracies:
This auction is for this great old Japanese Woodblock Print. This is an original older woodblock print by the well known Japanese artist Kawase Hasui. Print image measures 9 3/4 x 12 1/2 inches. in a 13 1/4" by 18" frame..
It is a busy Marketplace scene. Print is signed lower right. There is other writing along left margin. This print edition would have been published between 1946 and 1957. Print is clean and in very nice condition. Paper shows very light toning. Colors look very good. The paper was taped down lightly on the matte on the back,but it came off with no problem.. |
