His work was published by Nishinomiya Yosaku. He is best known for designing several views of Miyajima printed in blue tones. His prints are characterized by vivid colors and subtle gradations". The subject here is the KIYOMIZU TEMPLE, surrounded by pink flowers and greenery. In the background you can see more scructures through the fog. This is a light fog, as you can see the blue sky at the top. Please note the "Mortise & Tenon" construction on the Temple building. The artist's Japanese character mark is in the lower right corner. Additional character marks on the left side, behind the matt. There are some more characters on the back of matting (see photo #11). The sticker on the back of mahogany wood backing reads "KIYOMIZU TEMPLE IN KYOTO by YUHAN ITOH .. NISHINOMIYA & HASEGAWA, INC. 17 KAMI NEGISHI, TAITO-KU, TOKYO, JAPAN". The print is matted with silk fabric. It is a subtle green/gold color with woven floral design. The print is framed in black lacquer wood, with non-glare glass. The back of print shows bleed-through. The print is glued lightly, only on left side. The colors are not faded; only showing the effects of the fog. The actual picture measures 9" x 14". Framed, it measures 14" x 20". If buyer chooses to receive the print without the frame and glass, we can do that, but it will be shipped flat. Condition is Excellent! No fading, tears, or any other damage, including the matting. |
Japanese Woodblock Print The artist is Ito Yuhan, and the publisher is Nishinomiya Yosaku This is a lovely Japanese woodblock print of a house? Temple? On the side of a hill overlooking a valley with other buildings in the distance. It appears to be twilight and there is a lit lantern hanging outside. The print measures about 16" high x 10 3/4" wide and is a very pleasing composition. The print is signed in calligraphy and there are some printed marks down the left side margin. There is printing on the back that says 'Y. Nishinomi-yuki' & 'Kami Negishi' & 'Tokyo' - as well as we can make out. The print does have some foxing and some tape bleed-through at the upper corners, but matted properly, it would make a very striking image to decorate most any room. |
