| Notes (this edition) These notes were written by the original owner/seller/auctioner of the item and may be inaccurate.: | Friday, 12 January 2007 Japanese woodblock print. It has artist's seal and inscription. It the image measures 14 7/8" x 6 5/8". It is in fine shape with some pencil marks in the margins. |
A wonderful Japanese woodblock print. The paper size is 7 1/2 X 16 inches and a medium weight. I have others listed that are on a much lighter weight paper. The scene is very colorful and in great condition. I have no idea who the artist was. I don't know anything about this school of art. They were in a collection of my aunts that she had for years. It has two labels on the back that say "H. Takemura & Co 45 Sunchome Bentendori, Yokohama, Japan" and a pencil written title the says "Asakusa Temple" (I think. It is hard to read the writing). There are glue remenants on the upper corners where it was hinged in a mat years ago. There is some writing on the back on the top right hand corner. It is The number sign and then initials (#13 CCW) written in pencil and on the bottom between the two "H TAKEMURA & CO" labels is what appears to me as "Asakusa Temple". |
Saturday, 9 July 2005 An very nice colour woodcut of figures in the rain. On the reverse of the backing board in pencil it is inscribed "Oshiro/Ojiro - Shiro Kasamatsu. I don't know who the artist is, but I am sure it is Shin Hanga period and I have taken a close-up of the seal. Overall time stained, most evident in the margins (see photos). The print is unframed and hinged at the top corners onto old straw board. Good strong colour. Size: 15 x 6.5 inches (image) |
