Ross Attached is an image of the back of the Shinsui and a second image of just the seal. Please note that I played with the brightness and contrast to give you the clarity on both. As far as 'defects'. The only thing I see is the two, small, pieces of tape on the top of the reverse which you can just make out in the image. Let me know if you are interested as I have someone else who I'm also sending the image of the seal to Best regards Marty Ross I finally was able to read the seal on the back of the Shinsui. It is 36/150 (NO! 250!). Let me know if you are interested Regards Marty |
Wednesday, 25 April 2007 Guaranteed original 1930 Japanese woodblock print by famed artist Ito, Shinsui (1898-1972). Titled: "Shrine in Snow" published by The S. Watanabe Color Print Co. (circular seal)and numbered in red in Japanese on the back although I can not read Japanese (see photo). Oban size: 11" x 17" overall sheet size. Handmade paper in excellent condition although there is toned tape residue on the top margin and several small margin edge browning that will mat out. I believe the print has lost color value compared to the one I saw on one of the web sites. Nonetheless the colors are mellow and quite beautiful. |
