| Notes (this edition) These notes were written by the original owner/seller/auctioner of the item and may be inaccurate.: | Good Japanese Woodblock Print depicting a winter scene with a snowman and children, seal and signature on the lower right and looks like the work of Nagai Iku but I cannot confirm this. Printers mark on the matte reads: Uchida Woodblock Printer Takakura, Takeyamachi Street Kyoto, Japan, and I believe it to be vintage 1960s. Original black lacquer frame with a pine back. Overall measures 18 5/8 inches wide & 13 7/8 inches high, the print itself measures 16 9/16 inches wide and just over 10 1/2 inches high. Overall very good condition with some wear to the lacquer frame and some wear to the exterior edges of the print but nothing significant. |
This relief block print , 14 3/4" x 9 3/4" (image size) is in a matte and frame 19 3/4" x 15". The sturdy bamboo style frame shows slight wear. The print utilizes the technique of "gauffrage", a subtle effect that was a favorite device of Japanese print makers. In this process, printers often used an extra uninked block to give an embossed pattern to a robe. The print is signed SHO SHIN, a nickname meaning "Small Belief". The printer's mark has been identified as Uchida Wood Block Printer, Kakura Takeyamachi Street, Kyoto Japan |
