Meguro Fudô temple

Kawase Hasui (1883-1957)

Published by Watanabe Shôzaburô in 1931; this edition definitely pre-WWII: the print has the so-called "sausage-seal", only used until 1941. "Made in Japan" sticker verso (bottom).

Paper size: 26.3 x 29 cm (10.3" x 15.3")

Fine impression, colours and condition, SEE SCANS!

This print stands out because of its overall freshness.

Reference: Kendall H. Brown, Kawase Hasui, The Complete Woodblock Prints, #263.
Early and RARE Hasui woodblock print. Titled “Megaro Fudo Temple” . Published by Wantanabe. Bears a C seal (so-called sausage mark), so it was published between 1929~1942. There is a “Made in Japan” sticker on the back. Print size 15 1/2” by 10 3/8”. Printed on thick paper. Great condition. Not cut-down, good bleed-through. There is one small drying hole on the upper left margin. Slightly toning due to the age, or maybe it’s the original paper color. I have never seen a 2nd early copy anywhere.
