Rare Nomura Yoshimitsu Famous Places of Kyoto Japanese Woodblock Print #3
Product Description
Excellent item from the estate of a former US Navy Admiral. This print by Nomura Yoshimitsu is one of six that I have listed this week on Ebay. It is a hard to find set titled "Famous Places of Kyoto". It is in excellent condition with some minor soiling and light toning. The top is glued on a back board. It measures H 14 3/4 x W 9 1/2. |

| Series Information: |
| Published on the 5th of March, 1930, as a series of six prints in a limited edition of two hundred sets by Sato Shotaro. The series was sold as a set of all six scenes in a cardboard tatou folder containing the series and print titles, dating (March 5, 1930) and publisher information. Interestingly, there are also two extra scenes containing the series title that were not included in the series set: The Daimonji Festival, and The Sloping Path to Kiyomizu, so perhaps they were issued after the release of the six-print set. |
