Monday, 15 January 2007 After the Bath Yu gaeri Torii Kotondo, 20th century master- This very special, numbered, limited edition release by the Ishukankokai publisher- In the early 1980s with a commission from Kotondo's heirs, the venerable publisher Ishukankokai was given a contract to reprint some of Kotondo's lovely print designs. First released were numbered, limited edition prints of his great masterworks. The Ishukankokai publisher painstakingly reproduced prints that are virtually indistinguishable from the Kotondo originals. They sealed the prints with their "moneybag" seal in the left margin and hand numbered the series from 1 to 750. These fantastic, Kotondo designs were again available in this strictly limited quantity for collectors to enjoy. Today, once again, Kotondo works are almost impossible to find in the market- including these Ishukankokai prints. Tonight we are excited to offer this beautiful print of Kotondo's "After the Bath". Our print is numbered 99/750 (see photo below). After the Bath- A beautiful Kotondo design of a young woman in a light bathrobe, passing through the door curtain of a public bath. One of Kotondo's classic images and one of the most famous wood block prints of the 20th century. The young beauty emerging from the bath behind the traditional curtain is a shin-hanga classic. Lovely color and detail in an excellent print. The pigment on the door curtain printed with a mottled effect and utilizing the circular marks of the baren for texture. Without question, a wonderful print for display. Bid now! With original presentation folder- Each print is being sold with its original presentation folder.
