| Notes (this edition) These notes were written by the original owner/seller/auctioner of the item and may be inaccurate.: | This print is from the 2nd edition of the book published in the 1955. | 2005/01/05 Nice print by KAWASE HASUI (Jap. 1883-1957) of a woman standing before a temple. I think this signature is an early one but that's just something I recall as I really don't know his prints that well. Colors are nice. It is unframed and unmatted. The printed image is 6 7/8 x 4 1/2" and the sheet is 7 3/8 x 4 7/8." |
From the 1936 edition of the book. Thanks to Doug Tappin for this image. | Monday, 25 April 2005 This block print was found in an original envelope from publisher S. Watanabe, Ginza, Tokyo. The envelope was safely stored flat in a portfolio and I will be auctioning the Watanabe envelopes too. Circa 1920's or 30's or earlier? And in Near mint condition. Hopefully a close-up of the artists signature will help you identify him. This wood block print measures 4 15/16" x 7 3/8" and total size including paper it's glued on is 6 13/16" x 9 1/4". This print is glued to under sheet along top. |
