1963 - "Red Parasol" - Self Published
Description:
Rare, self published Japanese woodblock print by artist Shino Kasamatsu (1898-1991.) The print is entitled: "Red Parasol" and the date is 1963. My understanding is that this image was printed in a limited edition of 200. This may be number 46 from the edition, as indicated by the number in the corner.
The print looks like it was trimmed; only half the title is visible and possibly the edition size/number was in the left corner (where only the number 46 is visible.) Size: 15 1/4" X 10 1/2" The print is dry mounted on a piece of balsa wood and the number 00445 is hand written on the back. Condition: The condition is very good since the print was originally framed and under glass. Colors are crisp and the image is sharp.
