This is a 11" by 16" image titled in pencil "God Bridge in Nikko" L/L and signed Koitsu in pencil L/R (see photos). The image is bright and in very nice condition. It evidently has been reframed as there is some tape residue in two places on the upper margin that has been left visible (see photo). This same image titled "Sacred Bridge in Nikko" is on page 151 in Sandra Andacht's collectors value guide to Japanese woodblock prints. |

This is a beautiful original print by noted shin hanga printmaker Tsuchiya Koitsu. It is oban size, about 10 x 15 plus margins. Beautiful color, impression and condition. Never framed.

Japanese woodblock print by Koitsu Tsuchiya (1870-1949) entitled “Sacred Bridge in Nikko.” Originally published in 1937; margin is dated “Showa 12.” Later Hama impression posthumously printed from Koitsu’s original blocks. These later editions are identical to the earlier editions except for the publisher’s seal. With their intense realism, Koitsu’s woodblock prints have immortalized his country’s scenic beauty. Subtle effects of light and shadow endow his scenic renderings with an aura of captivating beauty, making his prints highly prized among collectors. The workmanship in both carving and printing is very good. Skillfully executed changes of color shading ("bokashi") are seen throughout the print. Pristine condition, with excellent color and registration, and strong ink bleed through. Oban size image measures 15 3/8” x 10”, plus full margins. |
Impression excellent … (later printing) Colors excellent Condition excellent Rating 1 = excellent |
