| Notes (this edition) These notes were written by the original owner/seller/auctioner of the item and may be inaccurate.: | This is a lovely original Japanese print noted sosaku hanga printmaker Kawano Kaoru. The print is quite large, about 22 1/2 x 9 1/2 plus margins. It is pencil signed and numbered 14/300; titled "Dancing Figure, Camellia". It is matted in its original mat (one piece of masking tape upper reverse margin, one in the lower reverse margin), but not framed. There are several handling creases, which I couldn't get to show up well in the picture. These likely happened at the time of printing, as the colors used require heavy saturation of the paper, and it is quite a large sheet as well. They will show very little once the print is framed. The color and impression are superb. There is beautiful woodgrain in the background, and metallic inks used liberally. There is a faint mat line well outside the image. | Wednesday, 14 November 2007 Title Dancing Figure (Camellia) limited edition - hand-signed Artist Kaoru Kawano 1916-1965 Signature Signed by artist in pencil on the bottom right (under the red seal).
