| Notes (this edition) These notes were written by the original owner/seller/auctioner of the item and may be inaccurate.: | KAWASE HASUI (1883-1957) Vintage Hasui woodblock print circa 1930 made for the tourist trade. This is definitely not a posthumous print like many of the Hasui prints currently being sold on Ebay. Measures approximately 5.25 by 7.5 inches. Sealed with an early Hasui seal. Excellent condition. |
This block print was found in an original envelope from publisher S. Watanabe, Ginza, Tokyo. The envelope was safely stored flat in a portfolio and I will be auctioning the Watanabe envelopes too. Circa 1920's or 30's or earlier? And in Near mint condition. Hopefully a close-up of the artists signature will help you identify him. This wood block print measures 5" x 7 5/16" and total size including paper it's glued on is 6 13/16" x 9 5/16". This print is glued to under sheet along top. |
From the 1936 edition of the book. Thanks to Doug Tappin for this image. |
