Yuge (Vapor) - Lovely portrait of a young woman in the bath, looking down with a pensive expression as she pats the side of her face with a light blue cloth. Her hair is pulled back into a soft bun delicately framing her face, adorned with a colorful comb and a red tie-dyed ribbon. The steam or vapor rising from the hot water of the bath is rendered with swirling baren marks softly shaded from blue to gray, contrasting beautifully with her pale skin tones. An exquisite shin-hanga beauty subject and a fantastic choice for a collector. This limited, first edition print from a release of 200 woodblocks features the embossed title "Yuge" in the lower margin, with the publisher "Sakai/Kawaguchi" embossed in the lower left margin. The limited edition seal on reverse is hand numbered "97" and signed by the artist, with red seal. Includes a small "Made in Japan" stamp on reverse along with a pencil notation reading "97/200 Special artist's selection from the edition." We are also including a label that accompanied the print from the Gallery Kabutoya in San Francisco.
