Kaoru Kawano (Japanese 1916 - 1965) Unframed horizontal colored woodcut (or woodblock) of a child reaching for grapes or fruit of some kind. Printed (with mica) on coarse and fibrous Japanese handmade paper with no watermark. Signed with a red seal in the lower right of the image. Also signed in pencil directly below the red seal - but the pencil signature is only visible in a raking sidelight. This particular signature characteristic seems to be common with Kawano and one can only assume he felt the signature detracted from the image. On the back is a rubber stamp that reads "Made in Japan". We guestimate circa late 1950's. Image size: 14 7/8" x 10 1/8" Sheet size: 17" x 11 1/4" Condition is very good to fine. There is the usual unobtrusive imperfections associated with the coarse nature of the Japanese handmade paper - but overall fine condition. It appears that it has never been framed. |
