May be a calendar print commissioned by Pacific Transport lines (edition of 500 copies), never been framed This woodblock print is part of a hanging calendar / portfolio and each print is attached just at the top.

This is an original limited first edition shin hanga Japanese woodblock print by Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) titled "Nara". The print was published by Watanabe Shozaburo in 1951. The Narazaki explains that 500 copies of this print and 11 others were attached to a 1952 calendar commissioned by Pacific transport lines in the time honored tradition of "meisho-e" ("pictures of famous views"). The print is in very good condition. Excellent impression, color and registration. Very good bleedthrough. No toning, folds or creases. There are a few barely preceptable spots of foxing on the image and on the margin. The print is not setdown or trimmed. Print size is 10.25" x 15.25" |
This original woodblock print by Kawase Hasui (1883 - 1957) is titled "Nara" in the lower left margin. It measures 15" by 10 1/4" and is pencil signed "Hasui Kawase" in the lower right. This print is in very good condition with no stains, tears or repairs but does have minor toning and is tacked down along the top margin to a heavy paper backing. This beautiful and hard to find Hasui block print has good impression, vivid colors and excellent bleed through. |
