| Notes (1st edition) | 'Sengakuji Temple at Takanawa in Tokyo' by Tsuchiya Koitsu (1870-1949), dated circa 1933. This is a Japanese Shin-Hanga (“modern style-woodblock print”) on heavy rice paper. This stunning nighttime scene features a woman and her child, carrying an umbrella and lantern through the gentle rain, and another figure silhouetted in warm light at the door of the temple,which causes bright reflections on the cobbled street and the bark of the tree in the foreground. The detail is fascinating, and there is a subtle passage in black and dark red under the roof in the foreground that is difficult to see in the photograph. The size of the print is Oban; the paper measures 15-3/8 inches (39cm) across and 10-5/8 inches (27cm) tall. The printed image measures 14-3/8 inches (36.5cm) across and 9-1/2 inches (24.3cm) tall. The characters inside the lower left corner of the image are the artist’s signature and the red seal reads “Shin”, which means True. | ||||||||||||||||||

Monday, 25 July 2005 Nice nightime woodblock print by the artist Tsuchiya Koitsu. I was given some information about it by a local expert. It dates to the 1930's, the publisher is Doi Hangaten and has the Doi water mark in the upper corner like the one in the picture, and has the Harada/ Yokui stamp on the lower left side. Artist signature and red seal is on the print in the lower left corner. In good condition with no holes or folds, and has the original margins. At one time it was framed and has about .25 inch of masking tape residue along the bottom edge only. This line will not appear when the print is framed. The paper measurements are 16 by 10.5 inches. |
Please take a look at my original Tsuchiya Koitsu woodblock print. It is sealed and and signed in the lower left side. It has no rips or tears. Nice early clean print that has two paper remnants on the verso from the mount. About 7cms in from the top corners. If you would like a pic I'll send as I don't think I took a close up of them. Hand made paper with no thins. No watermark is visable. The image measurements are 36.4cm x 26.1cm while the sheet is 39.0cm x 26.1cm. | This print has the early (1950’s) Doi seals in the lower left corner margin that read: Doi Hanga-Ten (Published by Hanga-Ten), Hanken Shoyu (Copyright Shoyu). Below the Doi seals are the “offset” carver and printer seals, which read: Hori Harada (Carved by Harada) and Suri Yokoi (Printed by Yokoi, one of the earliest printers who worked for Doi). The back of the print shows the excellent saturation of ink that occurs with woodblock prints. Only about 200 of these were originally created. This print is clean and free of tears, holes or stains; but it is wrinkled, the worst of which is shown in the detail with the figures. |
