HI Ross - hope all is well over there...not sure if you had the traditional thxgiving dinner but if not, i made up for it!
I was researching a bit on your site and came across 2 works in your gallery which I have…these are from the early 50's and originate from the Kyoto Hanga-In "stable" - the artist being Keiko Yurimoto. I noted you use their catalog for the title and thought you might want the added picture for further research. So find the attached pix from the work titled "Japanese Girl and Shamisen" for your review.
I also have "…girl with Koto" - both in great condition.
Neat to find out she studied under Uemura Shoen - she did one of my favorite works "the ghost with sword" - but it seems such an unusual work in light of all other things she produced. But what do I know! |
A mark on the side says:"PRINTED BY KYOTO HANGA IN 1952" and another one on the lower part that say:"SHINAGAWA" and the rest of the marks are in Japanese. Very nice impression and color. Good "bleedthrough". Two long horizontal creasing plus more minor ones; some edge wear. Glued on the top edge. Size is approx 16" x 11".
