Watanabe Reference No: Hotei #234 Size: 15 -1/4 x 10 -1/4 " Notes: 'This work illustrates the Nihon bridge enveloped in a light morning mist. A good composition, a fine work with well-harmonized color scheme', notes Narazaki. The Nihonbashi was the starting point of the Tokaido; the bustling commercial area surrounding the bridge was likewise referred to as Nihonbashi. The early Nihon bridge would have looked very different from the western-style bridge of Hasui's day. - Hotei Vol.1 ???? ????(??)??????? ???????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????? ???:?40cm x 27cm ?? :????? ?????(??);36.5×24.1cm | ||||

"Nihonbashi Bridge" an original Japanese woodblock print by Kawase Hasui! This is a nice, rarely seen print of Western-style architecture in Tokyo, dating from 1940. This print is in overall good to very good condition. The margins are clean, the colors are good, but there are multiple pinholes at all 4 corners and in the middle of the upper and lower margins. This damage might not be as noticeable if the print was framed with a white background. It is an early edition print with a Watanabe F seal (used 1934 - 1941). The image size is oban, about 10 x 15 inches. |
