Modern I would guess 50's - 60's Japanese woodblock print of a girl in bright yellow. The individual I bought this from told me they believed it was by Saito or Sato - I am no expert so hope you can let me know. I have included the marks on the print - Condition is good with very bright nice colors. |
This is a a superb Japanese woodblock print by noted sosaku hanga printmaker Kawano Kaoru. It measures about 15 x 9 plus full margins. Excellent color and impression; and mint condition. (Conditionwise, this is one of the nicest prints I have ever seen, regardless of artist; it has been stored away in a box under a bed, and the condition reflects this!) Pencil signed lower right in the image.
