This is just a great Japanese woodblock print. It was made by Ikeda Shuzo. He was born in 1922 in Japan. It is in mint condition. The picture area measures 5" x 7" (paper size is 9 1/2" x 12"). It is an untitled limited edition, 93/250, signed by the artist in pencil. The name shu was printed as part of the design but Ikeda is in pencil. I believe it dates around the 1960's. It came from an estate auction and the people who owned it spent 10 years in Japan. They brought this back with them and I believe never took it out of the artists paper folder. The colours are so bright and the paper is in such perfect condition. It has the original artist mat on it. |
