Monday, 8 January 2007 You are bidding on a First-Edition original Japanese woodblock print “Snowman” from the famous Series “Korean Custom and People” signed by the Famous Taisho/Showa Shin Hanga woodblock print artist Manoru Hiyoshi published by the famous KYOTO HANGA PRINTMAKER and made in 1950s. The print size is 15 1/2 x 11 inches. The colors, which are vivid and vibrant, are in layers. The artist’s chop stamp and the published’s chop seal are at the lower left corner of the print. The publisher’s chop mark “FIRST EDITION, KYOTO HANGA PRINTMAKER”, carver’s seal, and printer’s seal are in the lower right border. This woodblock print is not attached to any backing paper or cardboard and strong ink bleeding can be seen through the back there is one ink spot at the upper right edge of the border and another small ink spot at the lower right corner tip, which I believe have been there since the print was first made and also do not affect the image at all; there is a tiny foxing dot close to the upper right corner and on the roof of the snow covered house. This original woodblock print is in EXCELLENT CONDITION. |
there is stain and ink smear on the margin,the picture itself is mint,upper left corner a little wrinkled(outside the picture). This is a colorful lovely scene of a korean family in winter,mom has babe on her back,little daughter presents a snow bunny rabbit she just made,the two boys are making snowman,a korean flag outside the house and smoke coming out of chimney,the artist is Hiyoshi Mamoru,printer is Kiyomi Shinagawa on left margin with artist seal and publisher seal,good condition,vibrant color ,ink smear on right margin,otherwise very good condition,plenty of bleedthrough en verso.This is the first edition,so it is worth collecting. Size is 11 by 15 inches. |
