Gokoku Temple, 1932
Uedo Mokuhanga Limited Edition printing- This print is from a limited edition printing of famous shin-hanga landscape masterworks from the artists Hasui and Koitsu and printed by the publisher Uedo Mokuhanga. In the early 1960's Uedo Mokuhanga re-released a fine limited edition set of shin-hanga landscape prints. 26 scenes were chosen and the publisher printed 200 complete sets of 26 prints each. Each print was numbered in the individual sets indicating its place in the printing sequence. We are offering an excellent group of prints from this limited edition release. Our prints are from the 19th set of 200 and are numbered in pencil "19/200" in the margin under the publisher's information as shown below. These beautiful original prints were printed from the original blocks and are a nice opportunity to collect some of the most stunning landscapes of the shin-hanga period in a limited edition release.
