ORIGINAL SIGNED JAPANESE WOODBLOCK
If we were to guess a date we would say somewhere between the late 1700s into the 1930s.
Measures about 13 1/2" by 10".
The top & right borders have been trimmed off but the artwork remains. And judging from the signature, we would guess about 1/4" of the artwork on the bottom has been trimmed off.
Otherwise in wonderful condition. A strong image with little or no fading.

Attached is a picture of a Toko print. My husband and I have several prints by Hasui. In addition we own the four season prints by Bakufu Ohno. In our collection is also several Kunisada triptych's along with one that has Japanese writing underneath the wood block print that is possibly from Kudisada himself?
We would love to send you a complete portfolio of all of our prints and other Japanese artwork on a CD but we would need your address. Another option would be to send you a slide show if you feel that you have an interest in this artwork.
Let me give you a little history as to how we acquired these beautiful works of art. My Great Uncle, Dr. John Mooney was a Doctor in Japan after WWII - he collected and purchased for himself multiple Japanese prints, inro's, netsuke's, closissone & ceramic vases and also received many items as gifts from patients. The prints were shipped to Dr. Mooney's widowed sister - Mrs. Sabina Mooney Seifert in New Bethlehem, Pennsylvania sometime after WWII. Dr. Mooney returned from Japan and lived his remaining years with his widowed sister and niece until his passing December 18, 1967. The prints were kept in the family home by Dr. Mooney's niece, Ms. Mary Seifert. Ms. Mary Seifert passed away at the age of 82 in July of 2007. The contents of the home were willed and acquired by us in September of 2007. |
